Bibhas Roy

I am the clinical lead for the Manchester Shoulder and Elbow unit with 7 surgeons making it one of the largest unit in UK. As a fellowship trained, full time specialist Shoulder and Elbow surgeon since 2006, I want to continue offering my patients an effective and efficient service.

I am an honorary lecturer for Salford University and teach in the Musculoskeletal Masters course as well as at the Salford Shoulder Series.

My roles in my Trust have included positions of Director of R&D and clinical lead for IT. I have also worked with the Strategic Health Authority within the Health Informatics Clinical Advisory Team (HICAT) from 1998 to 2013. My health informatics interest has made me conscious of the clinical engagement and leadership issues that have contributed to major healthcare IT failures. I firmly believe routine outcome analysis with a selection of metrics should be the basis of clinical healthcare decisions and direct healthcare policy

Innovation is a specific interest, and my regional innovation funded PROMs 2.0 project had been adopted by 14 other organisations by 2013 (Primarily FTs, but also CGGs, and Mental Health Trusts) making it one of the most successful innovation projects in the country. The HSJ, named me as a top NHS innovator in its first ever list of top NHS innovators in 2013
