Indeed. There is a world of difference between academic qualifications and putting it in to practice. How many CEO’s have flunked their exams and gone on to build incredible businesses? They may have limited (if any) qualifications but are practical with vision and know how to build, lead and direct an effective team.

You might want a more clinically focussed CCIO, but who gets technology and can demonstrate this as part of the recruitment process – to a C level capability. I would expect CIOs or CCIOs to have had spent time in technology leadership/managerial roles in addition to their clinical responsibilities and qualification. There is a difference between someone being guilty of fraud by faking a degree, and someone having years of experience working in a particular field. The UK jobs market is very accepting of experience over qualification. And, sadly, my experience has been that good academic performance does not always equal being at all capable in the real world.
