Two of the most successful NHS hospital chief executives \u2013 one current, Glen Burley, and one former, Dame Alwen Williams \u2013 join the HSJ Health Check podcast, arguing that the sometimes-contentious spread of the \u2018group model\u2019 and joint leadership will keep on spreading.
\nThe Foundation Group CEO and former boss of Barts Health Trust \u2013 one of the mothers of the hospital group model in the NHS \u2013 also talk about how to make it work, managing exec time, staying in touch with the front line, and what it means for accountability.
