Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is responsible for the management of the Trust.
It is made up of:
- Executive directors who are members of staff with overall responsibility for a specific part of our work and the day-to-day operation of the Trust.
- Non-executive directors who bring their external experience and an independent eye to decision-making and management.
The Board is fully committed to providing the highest standards of care and experience for King’s patients and staff. It closely monitors the Trust’s performance to ensure that internal and external objectives and targets are met. The Board benefits from the wide range of skills and experience of its Executive and Non-executive members, gained from NHS organisations, other public bodies, and private sector organisations.
