Chief Executive to step down

NHS Borders Chief Executive Jane Davidson has informed me of her intention to retire from NHS Borders in order to make family time more of a priority. Her resignation will take effect from April next year.

Jane has served the NHS for 25 years, the last eight years with NHS Borders.

In my response to Jane I have acknowledged her exemplary service and that she will be greatly missed by Board members and by the colleagues she has worked with and supported across our NHS community in Scottish Borders.

I was sorry to receive her letter but fully understood the reasons for her decision.

It is my intention to ensure arrangements for the appointment of a successor are put in place at the earliest opportunity.

John Raine
Chair
NHS Borders
