Mike joined our Trust in December 2020. His central vision is to lead our Board on its improvement journey towards providing services that are effective, efficient and ethical.

He wants to develop borough-based partnerships that offer the very best joined up care. He is keen to work with our partners across north east London to deliver these services efficiently and ensure there is a relentless focus on tackling the health inequalities that scar our communities.

Mike is also Chair of Croydon Health Services NHS Trust. He has held this position since 2013 and there he has championed place-based integration in health and social care and collaborative ventures with other providers across south west London. These alliances have meant services are better able to meet the needs of Croydon’s diverse population and have created fresh opportunities for employees.

Mike has more than 20 years of NHS board-level experience and has held many senior roles including Chair of the London Mental Health & Employment Partnership and Vice Chair of NHS London. He is also director of the consultancy firm, MBARC Ltd, which works with central and local government and various NHS bodies on issues relating to both social exclusion and quality assurance.
