Welcome to the team!
We are delighted to welcome two new non-executive directors to the Trust – Professor Catherine Kinane and Doctor Minocher Irani joining our Board to add further strength and depth to the senior oversight of our Trust.
Both come with a wealth of healthcare experience – with Catherine having spent 32 years as a medical doctor (currently a Consultant General Adult and Forensic Psychiatrist but also nine years as a General Practitioner) and Minocher having been a practicing Paediatrician for 35 years.
As well as Catherine’s medical knowledge, she also has extensive experience in governance and strategic leadership and is currently a Board Trustee at Veteran Outreach Support, a charity based in Portsmouth providing support and clinical input to veterans. Minocher (known as Minoo by his colleagues) brings added experience as a medicolegal expert witness, an Executive Medical Director, and member of an ICB Board and Health Innovation Board. He also has regulatory experience and is an advisor to the Good Governance Institute.
We look forward to the positive impact they will make to our Trust and we share our thanks too to our outgoing non-executive directors, Dr Kevin Cleary and Kate Fitzgerald, for all their valuable contributions in recent years.
