DCHS Chair Julie visits Okeover Ward

Chair Julie Houlder visited Okeover Ward in St Oswald’s Hospital, Ashbourne, recently to meet the team and find out more about their day-to-day experiences of working for DCHS.

Julie is pictured (right) with ward manager Aoife Gibbons.  Julie took up post as DCHS Chair in January and previously served on the Board as a non-executive director for five years, so has a very good grounding in all things DCHS.

Over the next 12 months she’s keen to get out and about across the Trust to meet as many teams as possible.

If you have something you’d like to share with her during an informal visit – perhaps a new service or development – please let us know at: dchst.communications@nhs.net.
