Epsom and St Helier Trust have appointed a new deputy medical director who will play a key role in engaging hospital staff to secure the trust’s uncertain future.
Dr James Marsh has worked at Epsom and St Helier hospitals for the last eight years, most recently as clinical director for renal services.
While continuing to treat renal patients, Dr James will also support medical director Dr James Clarke with the trust’s Taking Stock initiative which focuses on ensuring staff are working efficiently and to the best of their ability.
As plans to reach foundation status continue, Dr James Marsh said: “This is unquestionably a time of great change for Epsom, Sutton and St Helier hospitals.
“As such, it’s vitally important that our doctors, nurses and other clinicians are involved, to ensure that our patients continue to receive the best possible care we can give them, now and in the future.
“I am looking forward to getting to grips with the challenges that lie ahead.
“It’s an exciting time for many reasons, not least of all the £219 million redevelopment at St Helier Hospital and the work to ensure Epsom, St Helier and Sutton hospitals achieve foundation trust status by the Government’s deadline of March 2014.”
Dr James Clarke, medical director said: “I am delighted to appoint James in his new post.
“He is a highly skilled doctor, and a well-respected colleague.
“I am confident that he will bring the same talent and commitment to the role that he has shown throughout his time leading our renal services.”
