Mark Goldman has been Chief Executive of Heart of England Foundation Trust since 2001. Mark qualified in medicine and became Senior Lecturer in Surgery at the University of Birmingham in 1985. His special interest is vascular surgery and he was an NHS consultant from 1985–2001.

Mark became Medical Director to the then Birmingham Heartlands Acute Trust in 1993. He was a member of the Modernisation Team which constructed the 10 year NHS plan.

Mark has been involved in developing and leading clinical services as well as leading major organisational change: the hospital first achieved trust status and then foundation trust status. Along the way he has acquired two other local hospitals to become one of the largest and most successful NHS foundation trusts.

From November 2005 until March 2007 Mark was also Chief Executive of Good Hope Hospital and succeeded in turning around a deficit of £6m to a surplus of £1.7m. In April 2007 the trust completed the first ever acquisition by a foundation trust of a failing NHS trust.

Heart of England was named as Acute Healthcare Organisation of the year in 2006 by the Health Service Journal.
