A nurse and hospital chief executive has been appointed national clinical director for rural and remote care by NHS England medical director Sir Bruce Keogh.
Lesley Boswell is the first nurse to be appointed to the 26-strong clinical directorate, all the other roles being held by doctors.
Clinical directors - who cover areas such as stroke, maternity and end of life care - work part time with NHS England to provide clinical leadership and support towards delivering improved health outcomes. They replace the ?czars? that had responsiblity for particular disease areas before the NHS was reformed under the Health and Social care Act.
