Dr Phil Jennings
The search is on for a new Chair for the Innovation Agency, as the organisation marks its tenth birthday.
Founding Chair Gideon Ben-Tovim OBE steps down this autumn, after leading the Innovation Agency from its inception as the Academic Health Science Network for the North West Coast, in 2013.
Innovation Agency Chief Executive Dr Phil Jennings said: “Our founding Chair Gideon Ben-Tovim will be an incredibly hard act to follow, so I am looking for someone who’s got a strong background in the NHS and an understanding of the complexity of our system.
“Equally, I am looking for a great collaborator, particularly with links to industry where we are aiming to improve partnerships and through that, bring economic growth to our region.
“The role of the Chair will involve working with clinical and academic partners; with commissioners regionally and nationally; and of course with the patients and communities that we serve.”
The role is advertised on NHS Jobs through Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, who host the Innovation Agency, at: https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/jobadvert/C9410-23-0133.
