Our local NHS Hospital Trust, the Oxford Radcliffe, has just appointed its fourth chief executive in nine years: Trevor Campbell Davis who is presently CE of the Whittington NHS Trust in London.
Mr Campbell Davis succeeds the very accomplished and popular David Highton, who had hoped to stay in the post longer than his two predecessors (one of which, Nigel Crisp, now heads up the entire NHS). As far as one can tell, leaving was not one of David's planned career moves, and the NHS has as a result kissed goodbye to talent it can ill afford to lose.
There has been a significant hiatus since the interviews 10 days ago and today's announcement. One can only hope that Mr Campbell Davis has used the time wisely to negotiate himself some rock solid insurance lest he encounter a similar fate. We wish him well

I would also wish Trevor all the very best wishes in what is a challenging but exhilarating job. He will find he is lucky to have so many dedicated staff to assist him in his task
