New section for non-executive directors
HSJ.co.uk launches Board Talk - a new section especially for trust non-executive directors and chairs.
The channel will give NHS trust board members a forum for sharing best practice and raising issues and concerns regarding clinical governance, financial management and communication.
You can register for free and access news, features and opinion columns.
The section will also include:
an online debate on corporate manslaughter that can be viewed on demand
a forum led by Robina Shah, chair of Stockport trust, on health inequalities
a column by Simon Jones, chair of the NHS Confederation Wales and chair of Cardiff and Vale trust, giving a Welsh perspective on NHS board culture
Through the channel, boards can keep up to date on the latest health topics.
If you would like to get involved in shaping this new resource, please email anamika.rath@emap.com.
