She also headed up the Information Standards Board in NHS England which meant that she gained knowledge about the wider development and implementation of health informatics standards both in UK but also globally.

The overriding drivers are to ensure that SNOMED CT meets the needs of all clinical professions in their use of the Electronic Health Record, supporting both day-to-day care of individuals, as well as wider the need for information to support analytics for Public Health, Clinical research etc.Jane is based in the UK and has worked at SNOMED International for 13 years.
