Richard Fraser

Chairman St Helens & Knowsley NHS Trust AND Southport and Ormskirk Hospitals NHS Trusts

“Audley needed to bring stability and Governance to the organization. Audley brought that stability and was able to support the Board efficiently. He brought Governance at the Trust into modern requirements and allowed Southport & Ormskirk to become a respectable organization again. Audley was instrumental in supporting Southport & Ormskirk pass their audit from National Health Service Improvement (NHSI)-The Regulator. He loves attention to detail and he is very hard working. He stays as long and late as is required. His work ethic is outstanding. He got along with the other directors very well. He’s very charismatic. If he has to criticise an area, he wouldn't direct it towards a board member but more so directed it towards improving the Trust. He made it clear that standards needed to be of a certain quality. The quality of his work was second to none. When you are able to provide quality to NHSI/E, it gave them a lot of confidence that the Trust was in good hands.”
