Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has appointed Kerry Smith as its new interim chief people officer.
Smith joins the trust from North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust, where she has been interim chief people officer.

Smith said: “I am excited to be joining Black Country Healthcare, and I look forward to working with employees across the organisation to continue building a positive and inclusive workplace culture.”
Marsha Foster, chief executive officer at Black Country Healthcare, added: “I am delighted to welcome Kerry as our interim chief people officer. She brings a great deal of experience and insight, and I’m confident she’ll make a valuable contribution as we continue to focus on supporting our people and strengthening our culture.
