What makes a good Hospital CEO? - I thought experience would be one critical factor. And she had been doing a similar role previously? Of course it is, but as you say experience, familiarity and track record are also very important. Let us not forget that academic excellence can also mask other issues in softer skills.

Not really - her previous health service experience was running clinical commissioning groups. So she had no hands-on direct experience of running a hospital or whatever. You could argue it would be suitable for DHSC as it is now, but not before the creation of Manx Care. And the rather remote way she ran things suggests that's the way she saw the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a course I attended many years ago there was a good hospital CEO (judged by his longevity in the role - average is about 3 years) who answered this question. His response was “Appoint good people, let them get on with it”. The fact that he was also previously a senior clinician, who understood how hospitals operate, was possibly relevant. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago when a degree was unusual and a first anywhere was stratospheric, I knew someone who was a double first at either Oxford or Cambridge. I do not recall which, nor the subjects. I knew him socially, and in day-to-day life he was useless. He also played french horn in an orchestra. Smart in certain subjects, but most of the time useless. So she has an MBA. Robin Bromley Martin has an MBA - from Insead. I can judge Bromley Martin's MBA competence from the documentation he has produced for Ramsey Marina. I can also form an opinion about Magson's personality from the first paragraph of her self-description on LinkedIn. Jeez, how can anyone seriously write that stuff. Can you imagine anyone going into The Trafalgar and spouting that nonsense. "I know how to make bold decisions. I'm going to order a pint of mild". Actually from an Academic who left Academia I can endorse that. Most are useless in the day to day things of fixing things , simple DIY jobs etc. I and when they are out of their speciality field cant put 2 and 2 together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus of course the belief that having meetings is all you actually need to do to run something properly. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamon Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 This alleged type of treatment of 'whistle blowers' in the NHS has been highlighted in the UK. There are examples where hospitals, despite having policies which supposedly protect whistle blowers, have been found guilty of doing the complete opposite.

The media reports refer to a statement from Magson. I suppose that there is no mechanism to compel her to attend and give evidence at the tribunal in person.

I can't see why she shouldn't give evidence at a distance as well. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
