I qualified in 1986 at Manchester University and worked in the North West before completing my vocational training for general practice and moving to Lincoln in 1991 as a GP principal. I am still a partner at the same practice in Lincoln city centre have a close connection to this area (and Lincolnshire as a county) having lived and worked here for more than 30 years.

I have board level experience at the highest level, as Chief Executive Officer of the local commissioning group. This has given me over 15 year’s board level experience including roles as an Executive Board Member for the Out of Hours co-operative and Chair of the Practice Based Commissioning group. Alongside this, I was an integral founder member and subsequently Chair of a federation of GP practices in Lincolnshire called Optimus, and more latterly the Primary Care Network Alliance in the county.

Between 2013 and 2019, I was the Accountable Officer for Lincolnshire West Clinical Commissioning Group, whilst maintaining my position as general practitioner at Portland medical Practice in Lincoln. Other senior management positions have included Executive Member of the Lincolnshire Sustainability and Transformation Plan with Senior Responsible Officer roles in the Integrated Community Care and General Practice Forward View programs.

My current executive role is as the ICB Medical Director, and I clinically led the re design of the colorectal pathway. I am chair of the Clinical and Care Directorate, a body I help establish for our system. This is a forum where clinicians from all professions meet to look at evidence based; data driven clinically led re design of pathways.

Paul Holmes

I joined the team in April 2024 as Innovation Lead in collaborative partnership with Health Innovation East Midlands (HEIM).   My journey in the NHS began back in 2007 in the days of the Primary Care Trusts with a variety roles involving Governance, Data Analytics and Project Management before finding my real passion of service improvement, which I was fortunate enough to develop as Quality Improvement Academy Lead at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust prior to making the short journey south to Lincolnshire.

My role is primarily about seeing how we can help bring innovation into our systems, if we don’t try something different, we’ll always end up with the same results.  But innovation doesn’t have to be huge and transformational,

it can be as simple as seeing something that is working elsewhere and seeing how we can adopt it here.  The end product and focus is making things better for everyone, the journey to get there should flex to suit the problem at hand.  One thing you’ll always hear me ask is ‘So what problem are we trying to solve?’.

I’m a seaside boy at heart although I live just outside Lincoln these days, longing for the feel of a sea-breeze on my face.  I’ve yet to master the art of sitting still with Triathlons previously taking up a lot of my energy, happily my young family dictate a lot of my spare time these days, so the bike especially is gathering a lot of dust.  I’d describe myself as curious and incredibly sociable, I’ll always welcome a conversation!
