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.
