NHS Tayside needs new chair
NHS Tayside is looking for a new chair to join its board as a non-executive member.
Perthshire’s Lorna Birse-Stewart was appointed as interim chair a year ago and will remain in that role for the time being.
But the health board is now looking for a permanent appointment.
A spokesperson said: “NHS Tayside is responsible for meeting the health needs of around 450,000 people living in the area and provides a comprehensive range of primary, community-based and acute hospital services for the population.
“Non-executive members of the board play a central role in guiding the strategies which address the health priorities and health care needs of the resident population and which will have a lasting impact on the delivery of healthcare in local communities across the area served by NHS Tayside.
“We are looking for people with a wide range of skills and backgrounds.
“You do not need to be an expert in health and/or social care.
“If you believe that you have the experience and skills to take up this rewarding and challenging role, and are sensitive to the diverse needs of people and the health and care services which affect them, we would like to hear from you.
“We want to hear from people with the senior level experience required for this appointment, which comes at an exciting time of transformational change for the NHS in Scotland.”
The post involves a commitment of three days per week for a remuneration of £35,841 per annum.
