Healthcare Russam GMS has been successfully introducing interim executives to the Healthcare sector since our founding 28 years ago. The Healthcare Practice works with providers of healthcare in the NHS, the private sector and social care sector. We are an approved supplier of Interim Managers to the NHS through the Buying Solutions Commercial Resources Framework (CRF) and the Non Medical Non Clinical Framework (NMNC). We understand the Healthcare sector and the exceptional rate and extent of transformation that typifies it at present. Not only is there a huge amount of change within the NHS, new models of delivering care are emerging and being encouraged by the government. Lord Darzi’s Next Stage Review and World Class Commissioning are but just two examples.

Our network of talented interim managers cover all functional areas which include Commissioning Specialists, Chief Executives and Directors, Transformation and Restructuring Directors, as well as covering the more conventional functional areas, HR, Finance, Operations, IT and Procurement.


Our Specialist Healthcare Team

Paul Fleming (Head of Healthcare Practice) has over nine years’ recruitment experience within the healthcare market and for the last three years has specialised in Interim Management placing interim managers into NHS and private healthcare organisations. Prior to that, he was an analyst with a FTSE 100 business.

Stephen Brooker is the Chairman of the healthcare practice and is a widely experienced NHS non-executive director; with particular experience in governance and problem resolution. His Trust is one of the largest acute hospital trusts outside London with a £230m budget, 2 District General Hospitals, a recently completed Community Hospital, and a Cancer Centre. They are currently undergoing major service reconfiguration; building a new DGH/Cancer Centre and a Diagnostic and Treatment Centre.

Paul is also assisted in leading the practice by Mike Whitlam who has a long career in the voluntary sector and is also an NHS non-executive director - in a London PCT. At that Trust he has been especially concerned to increase their degree of engagement with the voluntary sector.
