Lesley Doyle
Role on the Board: Board member representing Vitality Health
Role and organisation (non CCSD): Head of Clinical Coding: Vitality Health
Experience: I have extensive experience of clinical coding in the UK and South Africa, specifically in private healthcare insurance but with exposure to NHS and international coding classifications. I continue to be involved in the successful implementation of clinical coding structures and tools to support robust clinical risk decision-making, analysis and reporting within Vitality.
Recent/upcoming CCSD project you are most excited about: The mapping of CCSD to OPCS is an important piece of work that will be of significant value in the healthcare industry in the UK, providing a standardised and up to date version available to the market, and improving interoperability in healthcare data across public and private sectors.
I am fascinated by the geometry of Gothic architecture and Celtic knotwork, and how so many of the designs and features can be drawn with ruler and compass alone. A highlight of my year in 2024 was attending a course on how to draw the rose window at Lyon Cathedral, and being able to pretend to be an art student for the week!
