Board Members
The Trust Board comprises seven Non-Executive Directors and seven Executive Directors, including the Chief Executive Officer, five of whom are voting directors.
The members of the Board share a corporate responsibility for all its decisions.
The role of the Board is to set the strategic direction of the Trust, to agree annual objectives and to ensure that these are achieved. It also involves ensuring effective financial control and that high standards of corporate governance are met.
Meetings of the Board are open to the public and are held on the first Thursday of every month, alternating between City, Sandwell and Rowley Regis Hospitals. The Trust also holds a public Annual General Meeting (AGM) in June.
In addition to our Board, four further directors form part of the Chief Executive’s leadership group: Martin Sadler (Chief Information Officer), Ruth Wilkin (Director of Communications), Rachel Barlow, Director of System Transformation and Dave Baker (Director of Partnerships and Innovation).
