Interview by: Alistair Craven
Brian James has worked in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) for 30 years, with 20 years of that time spent at Executive or Director level. His experience spans strategy, hospital management, business development and information management and technology.
In his last post he was Director of Health Service Strategy & Innovation for South Yorkshire Strategic Health Authority. His keen interest in international health systems and new ways of working makes him a regular speaker at National conferences on contemporary issues in the NHS. He has a Masters Degree in Health Informatics.
Mr. James became Chief Executive of Rotherham General Hospital in February 2005 and inherited an annual budget of £140m, 3,300 employees and over 400,000 patients. 90 per cent of patients to the Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust wait less than three months for admission, making it one of the top performing Trusts in the country.
