Management in Bristol

1 In this chapter we describe the system of management of the United Bristol Hospitals (UBH), and of the United Bristol Healthcare NHS Trust (UBHT) after Trust status was acquired in April 1991. We describe the creation of the system of clinical directorates, and set out the respective roles of the Trust Board, Dr John Roylance, Mrs Margaret Maisey and Mr James Wisheart. We also consider the relationship between the University of Bristol Medical School and the UBH/T. A fuller account of the evidence which the Inquiry received on these matters is in Chapter 5 - Regional, District and Trust Management of Annex A and there is also a further paper in Annex B. [1]
