Canterbury DHB appoints new Chief Medical Officer
Dr Sue Nightingale is well known to many in the Canterbury Health System and it's her established credentials and networks, which have led her to the role of Chief Medical Officer (CMO).
Dr Nightingale will step into the CMO role for the Canterbury District Health Board starting September 19, 2016.
"It was departing CMO Dr Nigel Millar who really planted the seed suggesting I should go for this role. It didn't take me long to think 'well yes, I can do this'," Dr Nightingale says.
"I have established connections across the Canterbury and National health systems. I am excited about taking on a new set of challenges.
“I work from a strong clinical governance framework which includes promoting clinical leadership, best clinical practice and ensuring the patient voice is heard.”
