Hugh Wilkins posted an article in Whistle blowing
Prerana Issar is the Chief People Officer of NHS England and NHS Improvement. She was appointed in February 2019 to this post, which was created after senior leaders in the NHS and Department of Health and Social Care realised that a new approach was needed to a number of serious workforce issues which had become apparent.

Doctors have been reminded not to prioritise coronavirus patients at the expense of others in new ethical guidance backed by royal colleges.
