Two new Non-Executive Directors, Professor Terry Jones and Elkan Abrahamson, have joined our Trust Board.
Terry Jones is a Professor of Head and Neck
Surgery at Aintree University Hospital and Director of the Liverpool Head and
Neck Centre– the largest NHS / University collaboration for the research and
treatment of head and neck disease in the UK. He has successfully designed,
managed and completed numerous clinical trials and leads a translational
research programme in Human papillomavirus-related oropharynx cancer.
Elkan Abrahamson is a human rights lawyer who
represented 20 of the Hillsborough families in the inquest. He is one of
Liverpool’s foremost advocates of social justice, having worked as a lawyer for
over 30 years, representing some of the most vulnerable and marginalised
clients in a number of high profile cases. Elkan was awarded an Honorary Degree
of Doctor of Laws from the University of Liverpool in July 2019.
Both Terry and Elkan bring with them a wealth of experience and we are excited about their future involvement and what it will bring for our staff, patients and their families.
