Jean O'Callaghan new Chief Exec of RBH

We are informed that the new Chief Executive of the Royal Berkshire Hospital NHS Foundation Trust will be Jean O'Callaghan. Jean's background is as Director of the South Australian Health Commission and then as chief executive of Bedford Hospital then Dorset County Hospital. We wish her all success in this important post and look forward to hearing her ideas on the development of RBH and its place in our local health services. As Jean has not yet announced her departure from Dorset County Hospital it may be a few months before she takes up her position from Acting Chief Executive Alistair Flowerdew.
