The award-winning Shuri Network is the first NHS and care network of BAME women in digital health. In this fortnightly podcast series we aim to demystify what digital health is all about, and also to bring you insights into how some of our inspirational female BAME leaders and allies have got to where they are. 

Welcome to Series 2, Episode 6 of the Shuri Network podcast. What actually is a "Chief Technology Officer" (and not a Chief Technical Officer as we mistakenly kept calling it!)? Is there just one type of CTO, with one clear training pathway? Today you'll hear from Hema Purohit, CTO at Microsoft who'll give us the answers to these questions, as well as talking about the challenges of helping the NHS whilst sitting in the industry sector. Hema also mentions her experience of being an Asian woman in tech, along with advice for aspiring CTOs. So, have a listen, and enjoy the episode!
