New hands take the helm at NHS Highland

Professor Boyd Robertson.

Professor Boyd Robertson has been appointed as the interim chairman for NHS Highland, following the resignation of David Alston, who held the position for nearly three years. Prof Robertson will work alongside chief executive Iain Stewart, who is also a new appointment, having only been in the position since the end of January.

Together they will lead the future direction of the health board, and try to address key areas that have been identiThed for improvement, namely finance and service delivery. It will also be essential that Prof Robertson and Mr Stewart act on the findings from John Sturrock’s review when it is finalised. The independent review is investigating allegations of a bullying culture at NHS Highland, and the findings will be taken seriously. Scottish Health Secretary Jeane Freeman, who made the appointment, is pleased that Prof Robertson accepted the role.
