Yorkshire & Humber AHSN CEO appointed to NHS Assembly
The CEO of Yorkshire & Humber Academic Health Science Network Richard Stubbs has become a member of the NHS Assembly.
The Assembly is a national forum to help shape the delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan and Stubbs is one of 50 health professionals appointed to the body. It will regularly bring together key stakeholders to advise the boards of NHS England and NHS Improvement on implementing the plan.
He said: “I’m extremely honoured to have this unique opportunity to help shape national policy at such an important time for the NHS.
“The NHS Long Term Plan is a significant milestone for the role that innovation and technology will play in the transformation of our health system. It places great emphasis on these key enablers as essential drivers in achieving the major shift to prevention and supporting people stay healthy – unlocked by the power of digital.
“We recognise the major responsibility of us as Yorkshire & Humber AHSN, and nationally as the AHSN Network, to support the delivery of the Long Term Plan, and my appointment to this new national body will give me a major opportunity to do this.”
