title: New job, new challenge.
abstract: I HAVE lived in Barkingside, Essex, for the past 25 years, and my children were born in Barking Hospital and King George Hospital, both of which are part of Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust. Although my main job concerns patient care, I have responsibility for the trust's performance so, like all directors, I have a good understanding of NHS finance and performance data.
