“I am delighted to be taking on the responsibilities of Deputy CEO in addition to my role as Chief Officer for Strategy and Partnerships. Having worked at BCHC for almost six years and for the NHS in Birmingham for 24 years, it will be a real privilege to represent BCHC in the wider system work to improve services for children and young people. I am also looking forward to having greater involvement in work to improve our culture, ensuring that improvements are felt by all colleagues so that we can all be proud to say that BCHC is a ‘Great Place to Work’”.
