Board of Directors

Phil Sissions - Non-Executive Director

Over 30 years in the IT Services industry, Phil worked with many different client sectors including manufacturing, finance, petrochemicals and healthcare in the UK, Europe and the Far East. Phil’s grounding in IT and IS industry came from fourteen years with Comshare after graduating from Bradford University as a Computer Scientist in the early 70's.

After five years leading Oracle Corporation's Healthcare Division, in 1994 Phil moved to SMS United Kingdom to sharpen his focus on Healthcare information systems. As SMS United Kingdom's MD, Phil continued the delivery of clinical and administrative systems for the Health Service in the UK, through acquisitions and sales successes. At both Oracle and SMS, significant revenue growth was achieved through organic and acquisitive growth.

Since 1989, Phil has strongly supported the Intellect UK trade association, particularly in the Healthcare Interest Group.  For the years of 1995/96 and 1999/2001, Phil held the role of Chairman of the Healthcare group and is currently on the Intellect UK Board and the Health Council.  Phil represented the Health Computing industry on many issues (including standards, procurement, and PFI) with the Health Service.

Leaving SMS in 1998, Phil worked with a number of NHS Organisations in procuring software and services.  In recent projects, Phil project managed the NHS Email and Directory procurement and the NHSnet replacement procurement. From December 2002 to April 2004, Richard Granger chose Phil to represent the National Programme for NHS IT to Industry and vice versa. Phil joined iPLATO as a non-executive director in January 2006.
