Leading role at health trust for local man

Posted onPosted on 8th Jan

Simon Barton, who has more than 20 years NHS experience, is the new chief operating officer at Sherwood Forest Hospitals Trust.

Simon, who lives in the Newark and Sherwood area, has previously worked at a variety of trusts across London, Liverpool, Nottingham and most recently the University Hospitals Leicester NHS Trust, where he was director of operational improvement.

Key achievements in his career include a track record of achieving improvements in patient waiting times in Nottingham, while delivering improvements in productivity and financial improvement during his time at Leicester – both by engaging staff and patients.

Simon said: “Sherwood Forest is my local trust and I’m so pleased to be working alongside Sherwood Forest Hospitals colleagues and its partners to improve the health and care system that looks after myself, my friends and family.”

Richard Mitchell, Sherwood Forest Hospitals chief executive, said: “I am confident that in Simon we have found a great addition who will help us focus on providing outstanding care day in, day out for our patients.”
