We have over 70 fantastic host offers on our Hexitime site including CIOs, tech start-up founders, CCIOs, data analysts, AI experts and directors from NHSE, NHS Digital, HEE and international tech companies waiting to share their expertise and help you progress in your career.

Allies: Take action to create opportunities for our members to shadow healthcare and digital leaders, build relationships, gain insight into different roles and environments and showcase what you and your team do.
The Shuri Network is free to join as either a member or an ally.
Partner with us to build a digitally confident and inclusive workforce.
“Our recent survey identified that our members are keen to demystify careers in digital health, gain insight into roles and responsibilities within digital health leadership and explore new horizons and career options.”.
