Hello my name is Steven Parker and I am the Associate Director of IT within the Senior Management Team at Informatics Merseyside.

I have been working within the IT industry since leaving university, working both in the private and public sector.

I began my career on a service desk, working through a number of service delivery roles including second and third-line support. 

I have over sixteen years of experience in the NHS, ten of which has been spent working within Informatics Merseyside.  During this time, I have experienced a significant amount of change with an increased demand, pressure and reliance on IT systems. 

To help enable greater collaboration, I have recently been identified as a Cyber Security workstream Lead for the Local Delivery System (LDS) and will be working across the Cheshire and Merseyside Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP) to look at how information and knowledge regarding cyber security can be shared more effectively and what assurances can be put in place to help build resilience.
