The Boards in Common of Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust have confirmed the appointment of Lyn Simpson as substantive Group Chief Executive of the Humber Health Partnership following a competitive recruitment process.

Lyn joined the Humber Health Partnership on an interim basis last summer at the request of NHS England to provide leadership and stability while addressing long-standing organisational challenges.

Since then, she has worked closely with clinicians and teams across both trusts to establish a clinically led improvement plan focused on greater alignment, clarity, and improved patient outcomes.
