Professor Tim Orchard is a British healthcare official who is chief executive of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, one of the largest NHS Trusts in London. He is a consultant physician and Professor of gastroenterology at Imperial College London and is renowned for his ongoing research and teaching in the field of inflammatory bowel disease.
Under his leadership at the Trust, he has been a vocal campaigner for the rebuild of St Mary's Hospital which is part of the national 'New Hospital Programme'.[1] The Trust has the biggest backlog maintenance liability of any NHS organisation with an estimated £7m spent annually on repairs at St Mary's to stay operational.[2][3]
Background
[edit]Orchard was born at Charing Cross Hospital at the former site on the Strand. Both his parents were doctors and trained at the old Charing Cross Hospital. His father was a registrar and senior registrar at Charing Cross Hospital moving with the hospital from the Strand to Hammersmith in 1972.
Orchard was educated at Trinity School, an independent boys' school in Croydon.[4] He undertook his undergraduate medical degree at Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge. He completed his clinical training at Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School and was a research fellow at the University of Oxford in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Career
[edit]Orchard joined Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust as a registrar in 2000. He was later medical director and divisional director for medicine and integrated care. Orchard was appointed as the chief executive of Imperial College Healthcare in June 2018.
He led the Trust's five hospitals operationally through COVID-19, which involved reorganising services and staff to meet the demand of positive-covid cases.[5] He spoke publicly on the challenges faced by the Trust's hospitals during this period, including increasing ICU capacity with limited infrastructure and the rollout of personal protective equipment.[6]
He was also chair of The Shelford Group in 2023, a collaboration between ten of the largest teaching and research NHS hospital trusts in England.[7]
