Chief Medical Director
Dr Whiteman has worked in the BLMK system as a GP and senior clinical leader for many years. She was previously the Medical Director and Chair of BLMK Clinical Commissioning Group.
Her commitment has always been to multi-professional working, the research & innovation agenda, equality diversity and inclusion and the patient/carer focus that is at the heart of all that we do as an effective health and care system. She works particularly closely with the Chief Nursing Director and Chief Primary Care Officer to improve outcomes for our residents and reduce inequalities in how care is provided.
The appointment of a Deputy Chief Medical Director brought an important public health approach to the work of the ICB, and this emphasises Sarah’s ethos of development and improvement.
