David Sloman
Sir David Morgan Sloman[1] is the current chief executive officer of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. He took up the role in 2009. In 2016 he also became interim accountable officer at North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust, as part of the Royal Free's hospital chain project.[2]
In 2016 the Health Service Journal named him as the third-most influential CEO in the National Health Service.[3] In 2015 he was paid £240,000.[4]
Sloman was knighted in the 2017 New Year Honours for his services to the NHS.[5] This came despite his Royal Free trust reporting a worse financial deficit in 2015/16 (£31 million) than in the prior year (£16 million).[6] However, the trust is due to report a surplus for 2016-17 of around £15m.[7]
He is an enthusiastic advocate of the Trust's collaboration with DeepMind which, he says, could free up over half a million hours per year currently spent on paperwork[8] and help improve patient safety.[9]
