PHIN appoints three non-executive directors to board

The Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) has appointed three non-executive directors to its board.

The directors have been recruited to help PHIN ensure it can continue to improve the information available for patients so that they can make more informed healthcare choices.

The trio includes:

They replace Don Grocott and professor Sir Cyril Chantler who stepped down from the PHIN board in March, and Michael Hutchings and professor Sir Norman Williams who will be stepping down in March 2025.

Jayne Scott, chairwoman at PHIN, said: “Replacing our outgoing members after they served their allotted terms was never going to be easy, but we were delighted with both the quality and quantity of people who applied to join our board.

“We believe that we have appointed three outstanding candidates, each of whom brings a diverse skill set, approach and experience.

“I look forward to working alongside them as we continue to make the sector more transparent and achieve our vision that ‘Everyone can make confident choices about their healthcare to get the best outcomes’.”

Ian Gargan, CEO at PHIN, added: “We are very committed to ensuring that our organisation represents the needs of different patients across the UK. We’re delighted that as well as attracting these excellent new directors, who have a variety of skills, we’ve also been able to expand the diversity of our board.”

Dr Mohammad Al-Ubaydli, said: “I bring a combination of technical knowledge and first-hand experience of what it’s like to be a patient who needed to take accountability for their own health records. I will use this knowledge to contribute to the PHIN Board, so that patients are more informed.”

Helen Buckingham said: “I am looking forward to working with the rest of the PHIN board in a strategic way to continue and develop their excellent work to deliver better information to patients and improve their ability to make an informed choice about their care.”

Shah said: “Having worked in the public and private sector in healthcare delivery, I understand the challenges faced by the sector and complexity for patients when navigating any health system.

“I look forward to supporting the PHIN board in delivering the CMA Order and continuing to help the public make effective choices in accessing healthcare.”
