Olly Benson

I currently work for the Personalised Care and Horizons teams at NHS England. 60% of my time is as digital strategy lead for Personalised Care, working closely with the Empower the Person team; the remainder is delivering the School for Change Agents and other Horizons projects.

I am a non-executive director of Democracy Club, a social enterprise using digital tools to promote democratic participation in the UK.

I have built a way of being able to search the Charity Commission Register of Charities.

After getting frustrated with the number of letters from the NHS I had, I built a prototype of an app that you could manage all your NHS appointments.

In 2015 I built a realtime simulation of English NHS A&E departments.

I have a congenital heart condition, and since 2005 I have had an ICD fitted.
