The Trust which runs Shropshire’s two acute hospitals is looking for a new Non-Executive Director and two new Associate Non-Executive Directors to further strengthen its Board.

This is a fantastic opportunity to help shape the future of The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH), which runs the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH) and the Princess Royal Hospital (PRH) in Telford.

The new Non-Executive Director (NED) and Associate NEDs will complement and enhance the skills of the Trust’s Board of Directors.

The Board has recently been strengthened with the appointment of Dr Arne Rose as the Trust’s new Medical Director. Previous Medical Director Dr Edwin Borman has taken up a new Board role as Director of Clinical Effectiveness.

The Trust has also recently welcomed Barbara Beal as interim Director of Nursing and Bev Tabernacle as interim Deputy Chief Executive.

The Board positions have become vacant due to NED Mandy Edwards and associate NED Dr Chris Weiner resigning their positions and associate NED Harmesh Darbhanga’s term of office coming to an end at the end of July. Associate NED Tony Carroll has become a full NED.

Victoria Rankin, Workforce Director at SaTH, said: “This is a wonderful chance for people to contribute to the future of our hospitals by sharing their talents and expertise to help transform the Trust and make a positive difference to the community we serve.

“We are facing some challenges, but are also entering an exciting period for the future of patients and staff. We are looking for the right people to come on that journey with us and help us to ensure we are doing things in the right way.”
