Ian Trenholm appointed new chief executive of CQC
The Care Quality Commission has announced that Ian Trenholm has been appointed as the organisation’s new chief executive and will take over the role from Sir David Behan when he leaves in July.
Having been chief executive of NHS Blood and Transplant since 2014, Trenholm’s significant leadership experience and ‘commitment to making a difference to people’s lives’ were noted as standout features by Peter Wyman, chair of CQC.
Wyman said: "Under Sir David Behan’s leadership, CQC has become a catalyst for improvement, inspecting every hospital, adult social care provider and GP practice in the country – over 28,000 services and providers – and in the process developing a baseline on quality that is unique anywhere in the world. I’m confident that in Ian, we have found the right person to lead delivery on the next stage of our strategy - using new technology and new ways of working with the public and providers to continuously improve how we assess performance, encourage improvement and check that people get safe, high quality care."
Trenholm said: "I am really pleased to be joining the Care Quality Commission at a time of challenge for both health and social care. I look forward to working with the CQC team to build on the strong foundations already in place, creating innovative methods of assuring safe and effective care for all."
