Mark Britnell was appointed as Chief Executive of the South Central SHA in 2006. He was Director-General for Commissioning and System Management for the NHS in England from 2007 to 2009, when he left to join KPMG as a Partner and Head of Healthcare for Europe and the Middle East, a post that he holds today. In March 2006, after Nigel Crisp resigned as NHS Chief Executive, he was tipped as a likely contender for the post, but did not apply for the job, and in 2013 rumours emerged that he was again linked to the role as Sir David Nicholson stepped down. It was not to be.

Mark has a rich and varied career in healthcare management and remains as one of the most influential and insightful voices in UK and global healthcare. Roy Lilley will interview him at the Kings Fund with the usual mix of irreverence and informality, and you can expect to hear some hidden revelations, no doubt.

Audience members receive a drink on arrival at 5.30pm, with the event starting at 6pm. The interview will conclude at around 7.15pm when there will be an open Q&A; session with Mark until approximately 7.45pm when a further drinks reception takes place. The event concludes at 8.30pm.

Demand for this, as with all of our HealthChat events, is expected to be exceptionally high so please book early. No refunds or cancellations can be given after August 31st.
