Harry Longman
Founder, Chief Executive
An engineer by training, Harry founded GP Access in 2011 after discovering some GPs who had invented a new system, and producing the evidence of its astonishing effects. With interests in research, analysis and systems thinking, he is fascinated by how things work and could work better. Sadly he is never satisfied and keeps coming up with new ideas. He promises to stop when there are no more problems.
Steve Black
Chief Analyst
Steve is an experience data scientist with a long track record of analysis and data visualisation in healthcare. He has supported improvement programmes in both the NHS and Irish health services with focussed analysis of key datasets. He supported the development and initial achievement of the 4hr A&E tree in England, the reconfiguration of London's stroke and major trauma services, and has designed performance dashboards for a variety of NHS organisations. His key interests are using and visualising data to drive improvement and change. He wishes he could use data to show that Arsenal's performance was better than it is.

Debbie started her career in HR and worked as an HR Business Partner in the Pharmaceutical Industry for several years. She is also a qualified Personal Development Coach and Counsellor and has experience of working in the administrative section of the NHS.

Tom Dodd
Training Partner
Tom has a diverse record in change management, strategic development, and programme leadership, across the private and public sectors. Tom’s wider career reflects management of change in many disciplines, with recent focus on supporting improvements in healthcare and integrated services. Tom has a particular interest in evidence-based practice, supporting decision makers to make better use of information available to them, and ensuring that analytical outputs are of value to business decisions, and are clear, easily interpreted and robust. If he’s not in the office, you’ll find him up a hill.
Rufus Helm
Training Partner
Rufus originally practiced as a hospital doctor before making the transition to management consultancy over 15 years ago. Since then he’s focused on healthcare consulting and developed extensive change management and commercial expertise, particularly as it relates to implementing integrated service models and improved ways of working. When he’s not carting his young son around the country he enjoys losing money in the financial markets.
Daniel O'Shea
Project and Services Manager
Starting out as a broom salesman Dan eventually opted for a change in career, diving headfirst into general practice and assuming a range of different roles from reception/administration to practice management over a 5 year period. Along the way he developed a strong understanding and interest in primary care informatics systems and hopes his “hands-on” experience will be a useful tool when providing support to the askmyGP user base. In his downtime, he enjoys making fun memories with his two young children and joining in with their mischief, much to the dismay of his long-suffering partner.
