Board affiliate blog
For those who haven’t read this blog before, our Board Affiliates are part of a programme to integrate a frontline healthcare worker onto the Trust Board. Those elected to be a Board Affiliate will – for a 12-month period – work one day a week in a management capacity attending board meetings and helping develop leadership projects at the Trust and the rest of the week continue with their frontline clinical duties.
Kavan Nagi is one of our current Board Affiliates. Kavan joined the Trust in 2015 and serves as a clinical pharmacist and independent prescriber. She is currently based in the Cardiovascular Services at Wycombe Hospital.
