Governance and Structures

NHSBT Board
The Board oversees NHSBT's strategic direction and delivery of planned results. It ensures we successfully uphold our core purpose, mission and values.

The Board is led by the Chairman and comprises Non- Executive Directors and Executive Directors, including the Chief Executive. It establishes the organisation's annual corporate business plan, budget and long-term financial strategy. The Board meets six times a year on a bi-monthly basis and ensures that we comply with our legal requirements and guidance for the use of public funds.

Non-Executive Directors
The Non-Executive Directors work alongside the Chairman, Chief Executive and Executive Directors to direct our work. As members of the Board, they provide an independent perspective on issues such as strategy and performance.

Using their knowledge, skills and experience, the Non-Executive Directors contribute to our strategic development alongside the Chairman and Executive Directors. They are expected to uphold NHSBT values and ensure we promote equality and diversity for all patients and staff.

Executive Team
The Executive Directors ensure our values are actively portrayed and promoted across the directorates. They are committed to providing excellent leadership and direction, enabling staff to achieve their best.

Each Executive is required to have high-level experience in planning, problem-solving and delivering operational services and business strategies. They are also expected to use financial resources efficiently, set annual objectives and monitor performance against targets.

The Executive team meets every two weeks to discuss and review business priorities.
