Mark’s NHS management career started in 2005 when he joined the NHS General Management Training scheme, but he is also proud to have also worked in the catering department at Trafford General Hospital in Manchester – the birthplace of the NHS in 1948. Mark continues to be keen to help develop others and has a particular interest in the role of the NHS in reducing inequalities through improved partnerships and collaborative working.
He joins us from the NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board in Kirklees, where he was Director of Integration and Strategy, and led on improvement work across the local partnership. Prior to this, Mark was Programme Director for Transformation working across Bradford District and Craven.
Earlier in his career, Mark developed a wealth of both operational and strategic experience of working in NHS provider organisations, having held senior management and leadership roles and has also worked in commissioning and commissioning support roles throughout his career.
