We are delighted to announce that Dr Genevieve Small has been appointed as interim Medical Director for the NW London ICS. She takes over from Professor Julian Redhead, who has been appointed to a national role (Julian remains Medical Director at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust).
Genevieve is currently the GP borough lead for Harrow and the primary lead for the NWL vaccination programme, as well as the joint chair of the NWL mental health, learning disabilities and autism programme.
Dr Small said: ““There are big challenges ahead for the NHS locally and nationally, as we work to recover our services following the peaks of the Covid-19 pandemic and prepare for winter, including the next round of Covid vaccinations and getting people protected against flu. I look forward to working with all my colleagues to ensure we continue to care for and work with our residents. We should not under-estimate the challenges ahead, but equally we should recognise all we have achieved in the last 18 months and look to the future positively.”
Lesley Watts, interim Chief Executive of the ICS, said: “Genevieve has made a great contribution to care in NW London and we look forward to working with her in this important ICS leadership role.”
