In mainstream software development, we moved away from documenting the code to using tests to document the code as Test Driven Design evolved and became a mainstay of Continuous Delivery. Prior the shift I reviewed many systems that worked perfectly according to the documentation, and the manual test plans, but which didn't in practice, and which were impossible to change.
TDD/CD have been used to provide auditable implementations in financial services, why not in medicine?
As you well know Rory, the NHS will need more funding to either rent space (and a lot of it) at a data centre of build its own secure facility to implement such a data intensive system such as eye imaging. Good luck with that one.
Why can't this be done in the cloud - it's at least as secure as the average on-prem implementation, let alone the current storage in opticians' premises. Security should enable better processes and value delivery, not prevent it.
I’m hopeful that a change in government will bring a fresh and positive attitude to modernising the NHS. 🤞

Good suggestion.
