Mike Gill

Mike joined the NHS in 1990 and has operated   for over twenty years at, or near, board level within the NHS (including as a   Finance Director) and has also held nation-wide roles within the Department   of Health and Monitor (Independent Regulator of NHS Foundation Trusts).

Mike has a unique set of skills/experience   by working at Monitor since its inception as an Assessment Director, at the Department   of Health as Foundation Trust Director and also as Deputy CEO/FD at two acute   trusts including Mid Staffordshire NHS FT where he was the first of the new   board members following the public scandal and led the development and the   implementation of the Trust’s Transformation Programme in response to the   critical Healthcare Commission Report. Mike can offer all round health sector   experience via the NHS, regulatory bodies and consultancy assignments.

Mike has spent many years supporting and   assessing Boards/Governing Bodies in delivering their strategic and financial   plans and ensuring appropriate governance arrangements are in place so that   they are able to operate as autonomous and effective organisations. This work   has included assisting both commissioner and provider NHS organisations   develop more effective control mechanisms including their CIP, risk and   performance management systems.

Mike’s extensive and senior level experience   of the NHS sector allows him to offer support and insight to organisations to   ensure that they are well managed and that each level of the organisation is   appropriately focussed on its core activities and responsibilities and   overall have fit for purpose governance arrangements. 

Mike regularly speaks on behalf of NHS   Providers (the national membership organisation for NHS providers) on their national   Board Development Programme on governance and risk related development   courses.
