Martin Hindle, Independent Chair, EMAHSN

As this is my first blog for EMAHSN, I thought I should start by telling you a little bit about my background and how I have come to be in the fortunate position of Chair for this innovative organisation.

It was an absolute privilege this week to meet and speak with third year and post graduate physiotherapy students at Nottingham City Hospital. What an amazing bunch – enthusiastic, upbeat, committed to a career in the NHS and totally up for the challenges that lie ahead.

I was delighted to be able to join a recent fact finding visit by 20 NHS leaders to Brussels. I seldom put myself forward for such opportunities, but I know this was an area that was, frankly in my "don't really understand it - too difficult" pile so I decided it would be good for me to grasp the nettle!
