Madden, who spent six years in his post, was succeeded by Chris Beacock who has 30 years of experience as a urological consultant at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, where he spent over three years a deputy medical director.

Chair of East Cheshire NHS Trust, Aislinn O'Dwyer, said: 'On behalf of the trust, I would like to thank Peter for bringing his wealth of knowledge and expertise to our board for the past six years. He has played a key role as vice chair and maternity and neonatal safety champion. During his time with us, his keen eye for detail has been enormously supportive is his role as chair of Safety Quality Standards committee and his contributions to board assurance in relation to our quality agenda.'

The trust also appointed Jackie Waugh, non-executive director and senior independent director, to the role of vice chair. Since joining East Cheshire NHS Trust in 2022, Waugh has been involved across the full range of committees and is currently chair of the People Committee and East Cheshire NHS Charity Committee.
