The list of those who could replace Simon Stevens as NHS England chief executive is long, however relatively few are likely to be considered serious contenders.
HSJ presents here the runner and riders for what has been described as the ‘fourth most powerful job’ in the UK (after the PM, chancellor and the governor of the Bank of England).
The front-runners
Amanda Pritchard, chief operating officer, NHS England
Why: Has made a good fist of the number two job at NHSE before and during the pandemic and is considered to be in ‘pole position’ for the post. Her unfussy style and focus on the details of what needs to be done while her boss worries about the big picture has won over many. Liked and respected by the NHS leadership community. About time the NHS was led by a woman.

Routine operations will probably not resume in Newham and Tower Hamlets until April because staff need time to “recover psychologically” from the trauma of caring for Covid patients.
Dame Alwen Williams, group chief executive of Barts Health Trust, said critical care staff working in the areas worst hit by the virus were reporting “high levels” of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and teams of phycologists have been brought in.
The trust, which runs Mile End Hospital in Mile End, Newham University Hospital in Plaistow and the Royal London in Whitechapel, cancelled routine planned operations in late December and staff were redeployed to critical care units as the Covid-19 crisis escalated in the capital.

The new Covid isolation wards high up in the tower block of the Royal London Hospital have been given a royal seal of approval by being named the “Queen Elizabeth Unit”.
It comes in the week that a new Covid ward opens in the unit to cope with the latest virus strain sweeping London and a week after The Queen received her own vaccine at Windsor Castle.

Use of a royal name is at the personal discretion of the Sovereign, who is also patron of the Royal London. The recognition for the critical care unit has delighted the hospital’s NHS trust chief.
