Andrew Hinchley

Recognized as one of the 25 founders of the Internet, Hinchley was formally honored at a ceremony at Stanford University. He has worked on the sharing and exchange of clinical information in healthcare since 1992, following a successful period helping to establish the basis for today's worldwide communications infrastructure.

After having initially contributed to healthcare projects through his own consultancy, Hinchley more recently became more directly associated with the NHS National Programme through working for an LSP. As the Integration Strategist for Cerner UK, he had the responsibility for all information sharing in the acute sector at site, regional, and national spine level for all of Cerner's current and planned installations in London and the South. He subsequently worked as an Independent Consultant.

Hinchley became involved with HL7 at an early stage of the HL7 V3 development and was a founder member of HL7 UK, where he has served as a Board Member for a number of years.
