The London Clinic is pleased to announce the appointment of Mike Bussey as Chairman of the Board of Trustees (effective as of 19 November 2024).
Mike Bussey brings extensive experience chairing boards of major organisations, including Deutsche Bank UK and Credit Suisse UK. He has also been closely involved, in his previous capacity as a Trustee, in the development of our recently announced collaboration with Northwestern Medicine.
His appointment as Chair coincides with the news that Hamish Leslie Melville has stepped down from his eight-year position as Chairman of The London Clinic which was preceded by a period of six years as a Trustee.
Speaking of the outgoing Chair, CEO Al Russell said, “Hamish leaves a legacy at The London Clinic, not only of excellent standards of care, but he has also set us up for success in the years to come. As a CEO who worked alongside Hamish as Chair for seven years, I am hugely grateful for his support, leadership and guidance throughout.”
Hamish Leslie Melville said, “It has been a privilege to be a Trustee of The London Clinic for fourteen years, and Chair for eight years. As I step down, it is a source of great satisfaction to me to know that The London Clinic is in an excellent position to maximise its charitable purpose, both in its ground-breaking collaboration with Northwestern Medicine and under the leadership of its new Chair, Mike Bussey. I wish The London Clinic all the best.”
Mike Bussey said, “I am delighted to be taking on the role of Chair of The London Clinic, which has a reputation for excellence as true today as it ever has been. I want to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome, especially Hamish in the handover period. I am looking forward to leading the Board and our hospital into this exciting chapter alongside our new partner Northwestern Medicine.”
In November, The London Clinic, the UK’s largest independent charitable hospital, and Northwestern Medicine, a leading U.S. based academic healthcare organisation, announced a ground-breaking international collaboration. The two non-profit organisations signed a wide-ranging agreement, that for The London Clinic will help accelerate infrastructure improvements and growth ambitions in the years ahead.
