Alongside my colleagues at NHS Tayside, I am looking forward to working with her in her new role and I know her endless enthusiasm for improving the health and wellbeing of the population will shine through.”

During that time I have been inspired by the dedication of teams to deliver the best level of care to the people of Angus and it is that commitment which drives me every day to play my part in that. I feel very honoured to accept the role of Chief Officer which brings with it such diverse challenges, but I also feel extremely privileged to have the opportunity to deliver a vision which will elevate the overall health and wellbeing of the communities in Angus we serve.”
