Paul Chandler

Paul has worked in the NHS for over 20 years, having joined the NHS Management Training Scheme in 2003. Most of Paul’s career has been in the management of various clinical services in specialist teaching hospitals in London. His last role in an acute Trust was as one of two incident commanders who led the operational response to the COVID-19 pandemic at King’s College Hospital.

Paul joined NHS England in 2021, where he built the Net Zero Travel and Transport team to oversee the complete decarbonisation of all forms of NHS travel and transport within a single generation (by 2045). He has recently inherited the Ambulance Improvement and Patient Transport Teams, and is now working to assimilate these three disparate teams into an effective Transport Team across NHS England.
