Stockport NHS doctors take lead roles in Greater Manchester  

08 Sep 2022 - Press Release

 

Two doctors based at Stepping Hill Hospital have taken separate new clinical lead roles in the Greater Manchester region.

Consultant stroke physician Dr Shivakumar Krishnamoorthy has taken on the role of the Network Hospital Clinical Director for Greater Manchester Neurorehabilitation & Integrated Stroke Delivery Network (GMNISDN).

This means he will be providing clinical and strategic leadership support for the network working closely with clinical and managerial colleagues across the ICS (Integrated Care Systems) in Greater Manchester, and national stroke teams to support developments and improvements involving stroke care in the area. 

Dr Liz Thomas, consultant in anaesthesia and intensive care medicine, has been invited to be President of the Manchester Medical Society’s section of anaesthesia for the 2022/23 year, with the role starting in November. The Manchester Medical Society was formed back in 1834 and is dedicated to the cultivation and promotion of all branches of medicine. 

She has also been asked by the national Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine to take on the lead role for ICM specialty training recruitment across the country.

Both will be combining these leadership positions with their main roles for Stockport NHS Foundation Trust as working doctors at Stepping Hill Hospital.
