Laura Serrant has joined the panel of HSJ’s Future of NHS Leadership inquiry.
The professor of community and public health nursing at Wolverhampton University, currently seconded part time to NHS England as research lead on the Compassion in Practice e-programme, joins a group of experts led by University College London Hospitals Foundation Trust chief executive Sir Robert Naylor.
In 2014, HSJ named Professor Serrant as one of its inspirational women, top clinical leaders and a BME pioneer.
The HSJ Future of NHS Leadership inquiry, launched last year, is exploring what leadership the NHS needs to prosper now and into the future. It comes 30 years after the seminal Griffiths report, which introduced general management to the health service. The panel plans to issue its findings shortly after the general election in May.
