Nottingham University Hospitals Trust’s new chief executive will start work in September this year. Anthony May has been appointed to the most senior operational role at the trust, which runs Nottingham City Hospital and the Queen’s Medical Centre.
Mr May is currently one of the Nottinghamshire County Council’s longest-serving chief executives, but will depart this role later this year and start work at the hospitals trust on September 1. He joins at a time when both hospitals are under considerable pressure and scrutiny from health inspectors the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The trust overall is rated by them as ‘requires improvement’ and its maternity services are graded as ‘inadequate’. Another report published by the CQC in 2021 described a “culture of bullying” at the organisation.
