Hospital trust appoints new chair
St George's Healthcare NHS Trust has appointed a new chair.
Christopher Smallwood will take up the role from November 1, replacing Naaz Coker, who has come to the end of her eight year term of office.
Mr Smallwood was previously chair of Kingston Hospital NHS Trust and prior to that, chair of NHS Hounslow.
He said: "I am delighted to be joining St George's Healthcare at this crucial and exciting time and I look forward to working with the board and staff as the trust continues to develop its services to meet the needs of the modern NHS.
"The trust has a significant role to play in ensuring that the public in south west London continue to have access to first class healthcare services in hospital and community settings."
