The directors are:

Dr. Justin Amery, Chair

Justin Amery became a GP in Oxford in 1994 and is a GP trainer and Tutor in Primary Care at the University of Oxford. He has a special interest in children's palliative care, patient-professional partnership and the use of IT to empower patients to become more involved in their health care. He has published in all of these areas. He founded OxHealth Ltd in 1999, and through this worked closely with the NHS and DOH to develop patient access to the national programme for IT and NHS Direct online.
