Hello
We’re pleased to announce a webchat with the CEO of NHS England, Simon Stevens, on Friday 8 September at 1pm.
NHS England leads the National Health Service in England, setting the priorities and direction of the NHS to improve health and care. Simon is accountable to Parliament for over £100 billion of annual health service funding. You may know him from his appearances in front of Commons select committees which have occasionally hit the headlines.
Simon joined the NHS in 1988 and became a frontline NHS manager, leading acute hospitals, mental health and community services, primary care and health commissioning across different parts of England. He also served seven years as the Prime Minister’s Health Adviser at 10 Downing Street, and as policy adviser to successive Health Secretaries at the Department of Health. He has been leading NHS England since 2014. Simon is married with two school-age children.
Please do join the chat on Friday at 1pm, or if you can’t make it, leave a question here in advance. Please do share the webchat on social - the more, the merrier!
As always, please remember our webchat guidelines - one question each, follow-ups if there’s time and please keep it civil.
Thanks
MNHQ
