Musgrove Park Hospital has a new chief executive. The Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the hospital, has announced that Peter Lewis will take on the role in September.
Mr Lewis has been at Musgrove since 2005 and has held a number of key positions including director of finance, chief operating officer and currently deputy chief executive.
In addition, Musgrove Park Hospital and Somerset Partnership – the NHS provider for mental health and community services – have announced Dr Nick Broughton as interim chief executive of their new joint management team.
Dr Broughton, currently chief executive at Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, will be seconded into the role to lead the two organisations’ drive to join forces to improve care for patients, as reported in last week’s Free Press.
