Jan Sobieraj is Chief Executive of NHS Sheffield, with a budget of approximately £850m and 2,500 staff.
NHS Sheffield has three distinct challenges. These are, in collaboration and consultation with all local stakeholders, to tackle the inequality, health and well-being of its population (a 14-year life gap exists), to commission a comprehensive and equitable range of high quality, responsive and efficient services and to decide the best way to provide these services where this gives best value.
Before his appointment Jan was Chief Executive of Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and previously Chief Executive at an NHS Trust in Lincolnshire working in community and mental health services.
Jan is a Visiting Senior Fellow at the Centre of Health Improvement and Leadership at the University of Lincoln and Sheffield Hallam University, Governor of the Health Foundation, a member of the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement Sounding Board and a member of the NHS National Advisory Committee for Resource Allocation.
