THE Public Hospitals Authority (PHA) has announced the appointment of Mary Walker to the position of Hospital Administrator at Princess Margaret Hospital.

Herbert Brown, Managing Director at the Public Hospitals Authority, said Ms Walker’s extensive experience and background as a nurse and patient safety and risk manager, as well as her broader management training will be an important addition to the Senior Executive Management Team of the Princess Margaret Hospital.

“Her appointment comes at a time when PMH embarks on a new period of growth and development, in tandem with the PHA and Government’s mandate to improve clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction and the provision of safe patient care,” said Brown.

The Administrator will be mandated to develop a short, medium and long term plan in collaboration with colleagues throughout Princess Margaret Hospital and to secure input from the community to accelerate the highest level of clinical improvement while bringing a newer and more effective and efficient approach to those services we give.

Ms Walker’s years of service in health care spans more than thirty years, with fifteen years in a managerial capacity at various levels.

Additionally she has served as Staff Nurse, Nursing Officer, Infection Control, Assistant Manager, and Environmental Safety Manager, until she was appointed to her new position of Hospital Administrator.

Ms Walker also worked in at Creswell Maternity Hospital in Scotland, and at Doctors Hospital here in New Providence.
