Could you be our next Chair? Or know someone who would be great for the role?   Due to the retirement of our current chair, John MacDonald, the search for the new Joint Chair for University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust and University Hospitals of Northamptonshire NHS Group has begun.   We are looking for someone with experience of working at scale and NHS experience is preferable. We expect our new Chair to be excited by the opportunities for radical change and they also need to recognise the risks. They will understand how NHS Trusts and Universities work together to deliver research, education and improvement and they will want to work closely with us to strengthen our relationships with our local communities and our system partners in our local Integrated Care Boards.
