Leadership
ePAQ® is led through a combination of NHS clinical authority and experienced private sector operational leadership.
This dual perspective is central to our strength.
Our clinical leadership ensures that ePAQ remains grounded in frontline practice, academically rigorous, and aligned with patient safety and service quality. Our operational leadership ensures that ePAQ is delivered sustainably, governed responsibly, and positioned to scale without compromising clinical integrity. Together, this creates a model that balances clinical credibility with disciplined execution.
Professor
Stephen Radley
Managing Director
Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist
Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Professor Stephen Radley is a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, where he has practised since 2001. He is internationally recognised for his research and clinical expertise in pelvic floor disorders, with a particular focus on improving the assessment and management of complex pelvic health conditions.
ePAQ was conceived directly from his clinical experience. Faced with the recurring challenge of incomplete histories and time-pressured consultations, Professor Radley sought to develop a structured, validated method of capturing patient-reported symptoms before clinic. What began as validated paper instruments evolved into a digital system designed to improve disclosure, standardise assessment, and support more defensible clinical decision-making.
Since its foundation in 2007 as an NHS spin-out from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, Professor Radley has overseen the academic validation and clinical development of ePAQ. The platform has been supported by more than 50 peer-reviewed publications, including randomised controlled trials, and is recognised as one of the most rigorously evaluated digital assessment systems within the NHS.
Importantly, Professor Radley remains an active practising clinician. His ongoing frontline experience continues to shape the evolution of ePAQ, ensuring it responds to real-world service pressures, workforce constraints, and patient needs.
Under his leadership, ePAQ has remained true to its founding principle: structured assessment should enhance, not replace, clinical judgement, strengthening patient voice while supporting safer, more consistent care.
