About

Alastair Beattie

I worked in the English National Health Service (NHS) with data, its users and the processes that produce it from 1981 to 2026. In 2018 I retired from full-time work as Head of Information and Statistics for Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, after which I worked part-time until 2026. These articles are an attempt to share my observations and what I have learnt about the NHS, so that others might find something that helps them to make faster progress with their work and in their roles. The views and opinions expressed are personal and are not necessarily those of Northumbria Healthcare NHS FT.
