He wrote: “Beverley has been a key member of the trust’s executive team and board for four and a half years. She has led the DT&I team and played a key role in the delivery of our Apollo Programme to go live with Epic, our new electronic patient record across all our sites, across both Trusts last October.”

Bryant confirmed to Digital Health News that after a short break she hoped to return in a new national or NHS leadership role.
