David is recognised as an innovative and influential leader in healthcare and he has put Nuffield Hospitals in an excellent position to address people’s changing health needs. Under David’s leadership, Nuffield Hospitals has become the only major healthcare provider able to offer services covering everything from getting healthy to getting excellent treatment, and a model for charitable enterprise. David has extensive experience in healthcare, having worked for Community Hospitals Group and Bupa. In his early career, he was a management consultant for Ernst & Young, and a national management trainee in the NHS. He actually left Nuffield Hospitals as Operations Director in 2002, but was asked to return the following year as Chief Executive. He is regularly invited to participate in health and charity policy thinking at the highest level.

Jack has been with Nuffield Hospitals for 16 years, providing the financial leadership and shrewd eye for investment that has enabled Nuffield Hospitals’s growth to become both the UK’s largest trading charity and one of the most financially robust major healthcare providers.

Trish trained as a nurse and worked in the NHS before joining Nuffield Hospitals as a hospital General Manager, becoming a regional director, Commercial Director and even acting as Clinical Director during a period of significant change. However, it is not just this breadth of experience and 25 years in healthcare that makes Trish uniquely qualified to lead our hospitals business, but also her passion for everything that Nuffield Hospitals stands for.

Adrian concentrates on growing Nuffield Hospital’s business by focusing on what will make the customer’s experience better – new and better services.

Andy has been a regional director in hospitals and has led the Group’s Organisational Development.

Andrew Allen has successfully managed and developed several healthcare businesses over the past 20 years, including Vanguard Healthcare, which has now become Nuffield Hospitals Mobile Services.

Andy is Nuffield Hospitals’s first medical director. He completed surgical training in Leeds and also worked as a GP in Lincolnshire prior to joining us. Andy ensures that Nuffield Hospitals maintains very high standards in taking care of its customers and staff, as demonstrated in the Integrated Governance Report which he published for the first time this year. Andy plays an influential role in the development of health policy and his insight on healthcare issues can be seen in his regular contributions to the Health Service Journal and other publications.
