It is unusual to see an interim chief executive appointed for as long as 18 months, as has happened at Medway Foundation Trust. That suggests that recruitment for the permanent role may be delayed to give the powers that be a chance to think about the trust’s future or that the interim position is really a dry run for someone who will then be a shoo in for the job.
It’s not clear what the plans will be for George Findlay when he takes over at Medway next month but he will be tackling a trust with a long history of struggling to meet national targets and provide consistently safe and high quality care for patients. A few years ago, it looked as if the trust under Lesley Dywer was beginning to escape its history, with an improved Care Quality Commission rating but even Ms Dwyer found it hard to push forward further improvements.
