Broken Tech Broken Earth

Kathrine Woodall grew up in Cambridge and trained as a registered general nurse. She later completed a PhD in Nursing at City University London and alongside her studies, she worked as a visiting lecturer and practising staff nurse.

She later moved into project and programme management, leading major national healthcare improvement initiatives. At the Royal College of Physicians, she managed projects including the Learning to Make a Difference programme, which equipped junior doctors with skills to lead quality improvement across the National Health Service.

“Seeing how technological innovations are rapidly developing, I hope that I can be part of a movement that strives for more equitable tech in the medical and patient care sectors” she explains. Her career demonstrates bringing together clinical insight, tech research and programme leadership to improve healthcare outcomes.

This story was shared by a volunteer as part of the Broken Tech, Broken Earth project which aims to co-create events with the local community about the social, historical and environmental impacts of technology. This project is externally funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund as part of the Museum Association. The project is led by the Centre for Computing History, which is a registered educational charity and independent museum located in Cambridge. Our mission is to use our collections, displays, learning programmes, and events to engage the public with the developments in computing over the past 80 years.
