New director of NHS Employers wants employers “front and centre” of NHS reforms
On his first day as Director of NHS Employers, Dean Royles pledged to put employers “front and centre” as the NHS moves forward with Government reforms.
“The White Paper, Liberating the NHS, highlighted the need for workforce planning to be driven by employers and we need to make sure that becomes a reality,” Dean said.
“We also have to face the challenge of pay restraint, the development of new organisations and provider reforms. To be successful, all of these put HR and employers front and centre, and we should take our place now.
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead NHS Employers at this time. I have worked in the NHS for 20 years, and at the Department of Health, and want to draw on all those experiences to ensure there is a strong and independent voice for employers as the NHS moves forward.”
