How to lead in the NHS - and beyond - Dame Fiona Caldicott

Leadership is a precious commodity in today’s NHS.
 
John Drew, Director of Improvement and Culture at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, has launched a series of Leadership Talks – open to all staff – with a range of internal and external speakers.
 
The second talk was on 25 February 2019 at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where guest speaker Dame Fiona Caldicott talked about How to lead in the NHS – and beyond.
 
Dame Fiona, whose term of office as Chairman of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust comes to an end on 31 March 2019, shared her valuable insights from her life and career in a highly personal talk.
 
Dame Fiona was the first woman to become President and Dean of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and she received a lifetime achievement award from the College in November 2018.
 
She chaired the Caldicott Committee into the protection and use of patient information and in 2014 she was appointed as the first National Data Guardian for Health and Care by the Secretary of State for Health. Her work has helped to ensure that patients' personal confidential data is held and used safely to support better outcomes from health and care services.
 
Dame Fiona has been Chairman of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust since 2009, and her previous roles have included being Principal of Somerville College at the University of Oxford and Chairman of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges.
