Lauren Butler, Head of Training, Education and Workforce Development at Morecambe Bay Primary Care Collaborative, has been appointed to the role of Chair with Ray Olive, Assistant Director of People and Organisational Development at UHMBT in the role of Deputy Chair.

We are also pleased to announce that the People Board have successfully appointed a Programme Manager, Charlotte Moul, to join the team and lead the Workforce programme; delivering various projects across the Bay, focusing on our key workforce priorities of Recruitment (Vacancies), Colleague Health & Wellbeing, Retention and Mobility. Charlotte will outline our programme of work for the next 12 months at the People Board in July.

The new Lancashire & South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) have provided funding for a Workforce Programme Manager in each of the five current Placed-Based Partnerships. BHCP are the first to appoint a Workforce Programme Manager; leading the way in establishing a programme of work, focused on our priorities to recruit, support and retain staff across the Morecambe Bay area.
