HealthLink co-founder and former CEO Tom Bowden has resumed his role as the CEO of HealthLink, having stepped aside in May 2017.

Mr Bowden had been acting in an executive director role maintaining the company’s industry relationships with key vendors, including taking a leading role in the secure messaging interoperability trials being overseen by the Australian Digital Health Agency.

He was succeeded by then chief operating officer Graeme Stretch, who has moved back into a more hands-on technology role managing some new projects for the company.

HealthLink, the largest provider of clinical message services in New Zealand and Australia, joined the Clanwilliam Group when the Irish health software firm took a majority share last September.
