Professor Rachel Isba has been appointed as a non-executive director of University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust and she will have a particular focus on children and young people.
She said: "I am excited to have joined the Trust Board and am particularly keen to have an impact in terms of children and young people.
“Many NHS services are geared towards adults but I would like children and young people’s voices to be heard more often. It would be interesting to see how this could be further developed at the Trust.
“I’ve been a doctor for the last 17 years and have worked in many different fields so I hope my experience and skills will be beneficial to the overall work of the Trust.
“My appointment will be another link between the Trust and Lancaster University. It’s great to have the NHS and the university working together in mutually beneficial ways.”
