Professor Dame Carol Black, Newnham’s Principal, has been ranked as one of the top clinical leaders in the UK.

The Health Service Journal highlights 100 leading clinicians influencing policy, innovation and service transformation and announced the list during an event at the Patient Safety Congress and Awards earlier this week.

From a longlist of more than 250 people, a panel of judges including Professor Sir David Fish, Samantha Jones and Sir Richard Thompson selected the final 100 names that form this year’s selection.

Dame Carol, a former President of the Royal College of Physicians and a current advisor on work and health to the Department of Health, is a new entry on the list and was highlighted for her ‘long term influence’.
