Hello, my name is Eythan McMullan and I am an Allied Health Professional Specialist within the Trust’s Digital Health Team.
My role focuses on supporting the development and optimisation of digital systems and workflows, helping staff make the best use of technology in their day-to-day work. I am particularly passionate about improving clinical workflows so that colleagues can spend more time focusing on patient care.
A key part of my role is supporting the delivery of training and education for staff, helping them feel confident and comfortable when using new systems and ways of working. I take a user-centred approach to digital health, ensuring that the needs of the people using systems every day remain at the heart of digital improvement work.
What I enjoy most about working in digital health is the opportunity to work with different teams and services across the organisation. Learning about how services operate and exploring how digital technology can better support staff and patients is one of the most rewarding aspects of the role.
My journey into digital health
I trained and worked as a physiotherapist across both the NHS and private sector, gaining experience in a variety of clinical settings. Before joining the Digital Health Team, I worked as an Advanced Practitioner Physiotherapist within the TIMS service, supporting patients through rehabilitation, injection therapy and the use of diagnostic imaging.
My first step into digital health came when I helped to co-design a digital physiotherapy assessment template for a local GP group. Having always enjoyed service improvement work, this experience sparked my interest in the role technology can play in improving healthcare services and patient outcomes.
This interest eventually led me into digital health, where I have been able to combine my clinical experience with a passion for improving systems and processes. More recently, I have taken on a role supporting the Digital Education Specialist team to deliver the Trust’s digital education strategy, helping to ensure staff have the skills and confidence they need to use digital systems effectively.
What motivates me most is improving both staff and patient experience. Knowing that the right system, supported by the right training, can make a significant difference to the people who use it is what makes the role so rewarding.
As digital healthcare continues to develop, I believe it is important that investment in technology is matched by support for digital literacy and efforts to reduce digital inequalities for both staff and patients. By doing this, we can help ensure the benefits of digital healthcare are accessible to everyone.
