THE three Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Groups have appointed Simon Trickett as their new ‘accountable officer’.
NHS Redditch and Bromsgrove, NHS South Worcestershire and NHS Wyre Forest CCGs made the decision to appoint one accountable officer to lead the three CCGs and the single management team that supports all three organisations.
Mr Trickett is currently interim accountable officer for NHS Redditch and Bromsgrove and NHS Wyre Forest CCGs and has worked in the local NHS since 2008. He was previously chief operating officer for NHS South Worcestershire CCG until March 2016, when he moved to the role of interim accountable officer.
In a joint statement the chairs of the three CCGs, Dr Richard Davies, Dr Anthony Kelly and Dr Clare Marley, said: “Simon has been an integral part of the development of all three CCGs over the last five years. We are delighted to appoint him as our new accountable officer.
“The three CCGs are committed to commissioning and arranging the high quality services that local people deserve and we are confident that Simon’s appointment will allow us to continue this important work.”
Mr Trickett said: “I was born in Worcestershire, have lived here most of my life and I am passionate about making a positive difference to the health and wellbeing of local people. We know that there are a lot of improvements to local health services that are required and that there are improvements that we can make by working with and our partners.
“We have excellent staff working across the organisations, both clinical and non-clinical, it really is a fantastic team and it is a great privilege to have the opportunity of leading the three CCGs.”
He will take up his position on August 1, 2017.
