He has operated at NHS Board level for seven years with a total of 18 years’ experience across NHS senior leadership roles and brings a wealth of knowledge, skills and expertise. During his career, Steven has led several large-scale transformation programmes for clinical services and has developed a track record in delivering performance improvements across key services including urgent and emergency care.
