Dr Jonathan Sheffield,
Medical Director and Deputy Chief Executive, is leaving after six
years at University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust to take
up the post of Chief Executive for the Clinical Research Network of
the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) based at the
University Of Leeds.
Jonathan has been a committed champion for
patient safety and clinical quality, not just in the Trust but
across the South West and we wish him well in his new role.
He will join the NIHR on 1 October.
The Trust will announce interim arrangements
for the Medical Director position in due course, pending a
permanent appointment.
