University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust is delighted to announce that Sue Noyes has been appointed as the new Chair of the Board of Directors.

Sue, who has more than 30 years of experience in the NHS at a senior level, will be starting her new role on Thursday 1st February.

Sue was the joint Deputy Chair of the Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board until her appointment at UHCW, and is also currently joint Deputy Chair on the Board of Birmingham Women and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust. She is also a qualified coach and mentor.

She said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining UHCW NHS Trust, which has played an important role in mine and my family’s life. I am looking forward to playing my part to help ensure the Trust continues to be a great place to work and to receive care.

“The patient and staff experience are really important to me and I’m also committed to working closely with our partners to help reduce health inequalities and improve the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve.”

Sue will succeed current Chair Jerry Gould, who took up the role on an interim basis from Dame Stella Manzie earlier this year.

Professor Andy Hardy, Chief Executive Officer, said: “Sue is a hugely experienced and highly regarded NHS leader with significant experience of healthcare organisations and the opportunities and challenges we face.

“Her extensive knowledge of the Coventry and Warwickshire healthcare landscape will prove invaluable and I am delighted she is going to be part of our quality improvement journey.”
