PRESS
RELEASE Joanna is Christie's new Chief Executive Joanna Wallace, 34, has been appointed Chief Executive of The Christie NHS Trust, Manchester. Ms Wallace will join The Christie in mid-October from St Helens and Knowsley Health Authority, where she has been Chief Executive for the past three years. "Christie's has a strong clarity of purpose which I find very inspiring. I am looking forward greatly to joining an organisation which has such a significant impact in its particular field - cancer treatment and research" said Ms Wallace, who lives in Holmes Chapel. "Joanna has the dynamism and spark to lead the hospital through some very exciting and challenging years" said Trust Chairman Arthur Sandford. "We are treating growing numbers of patients - and more quickly; there is a £10m radiotherapy scheme in progress to house four new linear accelerators; other centenary appeal projects are coming to fruition and research is entering new realms with the advent of gene therapy and other new techniques". From 1995 to 1997 Ms Wallace was Director of Service Development for East Cheshire NHS Trust and previously spent six years in California, working initially as a management consultant then for four years was Regional Planning Manager with Kaiser Permanente, the USA's largest non-profit making managed care organisation. A graduate of University College, London, she has a Masters degree in Business Administration from the University of California. She was Chairman of the North West Regional Neurosciences Project, successfully building links between the three regional neurosciences centres. At national level she serves on the NHS Service Delivery Research and Development Committee and is a member of the NHS Confederation Health Exchange Group. Her hobbies include running, golf, windsurfing and supporting Bolton Wanderers. Ms Wallace succeeds Mike Fry who, after 12 years at The Christie's helm, is leaving the NHS to become Chief Executive of a set of Barristers' Chambers in Manchester. Ends For more information, please
