A PROFESSIONAL mediator has been appointed to the board of an NHS trust running two hospitals.
Henrietta Wallace joins chairwoman Glenys Marriott and five other non-executive directors of the South Tees Hospitals NHS trust, which covers The James Cook University Hospital, in Middlesbrough, and the Friarage Hospital, in Northallerton.
She has an MSc in public health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and a BA in human sciences from Oxford.
She has worked in the department of clinical genetics at Guy's Hospital and on the muscular dystrophy research team at St Thomas' Foundation Trust, both in London. She has also worked for the British Medical Association as its senior research officer in medical ethics and worked as the research manager for the Royal College of Physicians and the Institute of Neurology, evaluating the quality of care for people with epilepsy.
From September 1997 to March 2000 she managed the first independent national evaluation of the NHS complaints procedure.
Ms Marriott said: "I'm very pleased to have such a skilled and high-calibre person as Henrietta joining the board of the trust at this important time in its development.''
