Gordon Caldwell is a recently retired NHS medical consultant who has worked all over the UK. His passion is quality in healthcare and he has spearheaded efforts to improve efficiency in the NHS. He is an advocate for improving the use of IT to diminish the need for repetitive tasks and has started a campaign called #CutTheCrap. This has the aim of liberating healthcare staff from burdensome paperwork and freeing them up to spend more time with patients, delivering excellent care.
