The RCHT Radio show broadcast for the final time on the 31st March 2026 and in our final show we heard from our freedom to speak up guardians Jo Burton and David Kinnair in the studio to, firstly introduce David as he started the role earlier this month, and talk about the speaking up options available to our staff.

Dom Whitting our lead for chaplaincy and voluntary services joins me in the studio to talk about the lead chaplain role, the work of our volunteers, and how festivals like easter impact the work of the team.

And on the 21st of April, our chief executive Steve Williamson will be leaving Royal Cornwall Hospitals to take over as Chief Executive at Morcombe Bay NHS Trust. We’ll be hearing from Steve as he reflects on the achievements of RCHT over the past four years and the outstanding staff working here. Also, alongside Steve is Chief Nursing Officer Kim O’Keefe who’ll be taking over from Steve as interim chief executive.

The RCHT Podcast will be taking a break for a few weeks but we'll be back with new episodes very soon!
