Chris McNicholas

What does a typical day look like for you?

I help lead and coordinate anything and everything to make Cambridge Children's Hospital a reality. From making sure we are progressing through our business case and design phases to ensuring we are collaborating with patients, families, staff and across partner organisations, as well as supporting our project team to make it all happen.

What inspired you to join the Cambridge Children’s Hospital Project?

I live in Cambridge and have three children that were born here (as well as myself!). To be able to contribute to something that will help children and families in the area is what inspired me to join the project. I have worked in various service transformation and research projects in the NHS and this will be the pinnacle.
