Jan Greasley

Public Governor - North Wales - Lead Governor

A lifelong resident of Chirk, Wrexham, I trained at RJAH.  I qualified as a nurse (SRN) at Wrexham before returning to RJAH as a Ward Sister.  Later I specialised in healthcare quality, which enabled me to work with colleagues from other professional groups, patients, the public and other stakeholders in securing high quality care.  My last position at RJAH was Head of Clinical Governance from which I retired in October 2007.

Since April 2010 I have been a Welsh Assembly Government appointed member of North Wales Community Health Council (CHC).  I am suitably experienced to make an effective contribution, as a Governor at RJAH, as it develops as an independent NHS Foundation Trust.

Mr Peter David

Stakeholder Governor

I was schooled in Oswestry and recently returned to the area after having spent the majority of my working life in the Middle and Far East in various roles in Investment Banking.

I offer my services as the current Treasurer of the League of Friends to the Trust and am honoured to represent the voluntary sector on the Council of Governors. The League has a long history of over 55 years supporting the hospital and to date has raised over £4 million.

It is my intention to bring my career and life experience to fulfil my statutory role as a Governor by working with all parties to ensure that the Trust provides the highest level of care to its patients and the community we serve.

Declaration of interest:

My wife is an employee of the Trust.

Mr Allen Edwards

Staff Governor

The skills I can bring to the role include excellent communication and organisational skills. In my role at the Trust as Training Advisor I work closely with the community in promoting a number of initiatives. These include running Corporate Work Experience weeks for local students, attending career events across Shropshire and running specific sessions for local primary schools to help support projects.

 I am also part of a Widening Participation group across Shropshire and Staffordshire to help take the experience of work to schools and as part of this I am currently working on an ambassador programme at the Trust to help support this initiative.  I also support the Princes Trust programme in Shropshire delivering employability skills to young people aged 16-24 to assist with finding work.

In conclusion my aim is to actively encourage feedback from the public, patients and staff, and use it to help improve our services and continue to work in partnership with other organisations in the interest of patients, the local community and the wider population.

I have been a patient at RJAH since 1991, as both an inpatient and day case, therefore having had the opportunity to observe at first hand, the daily life of a busy hospital.  I offer 55 years of business experience, and am currently Chairman of a metal component manufacturing company which makes drivers seating for buses.  I am also Chairman of a consultancy company.  I have been a journalist since 1953, being a regular business contributor to Sky News, London in addition to commenting for BBC and ITN.  I also write about 30 columns a year for the Birmingham Post, plus regular contributions for the Broad Street Journal.

Public Governor - Cheshire and Merseyside

Mrs Sue Nassar

Public Governor - Shropshire

I have lived in Oswestry since 1984 and have had close association with RJAH since that time, my husband having completed his Specialist Orthopaedic rotation there.

I undertook my nurse training at St Cross Hospital Rugby, qualifying as an SRN, with a certificate of Obstetrics. An initial staff nurse post in general medicine lead onto a sister's post in the major accident and emergency department. I held a senior nursing post in 3 teaching hospitals in the UK prior to our move to the Middle East.

On return to the UK I secured a nursing post on the Midlands Centre for Spinal Injuries, later gaining the post of co-ordinator for discharge, resettlement and community liaison.

I retired in 2012 having spent a fulfilling and happy 23 years on the Midlands Centre for Spinal Injuries.

I wish to maintain my connection with RJAH and be able to make an effective contribution as a governor, particularly regarding standards of care, quality and nursing ethics.
