NHS England has appointed Dr Lesley Kay as the National Clinical Director (NCD) for Musculoskeletal.
Lesley brings a wealth of experience to the NCD role as a Consultant rheumatologist at the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS FT, former Chair of the British Society for Rheumatology Clinical Affairs Committee and as the former GIRFT Clinical Lead for Rheumatology.
Outgoing NCD Andy Bennett will be taking on a new role with GIRFT as Clinical Advisor focussing on community MSK services.
We wish them both the very best of luck and look forward to continuing to work with them closely in their new roles.
