The Independent plays a pivotal role in delivering crucial news on various topics like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech without paywalls, fostering informed public discourse. In a separate announcement, Professor Sir Stephen Powis, the national medical director of NHS England, reveals his decision to step down after over seven years. His tenure was significantly challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic, during which he expressed pride in supporting NHS staff and the public. This transition may pose challenges for leadership continuity within NHS England following recent resignations.
"My time in post has been dominated by the pandemic and its ongoing impact - I will forever be humbled by the extraordinary work of staff throughout the NHS to the greatest health emergency in a century."
"I remain passionate and committed to improving the health of patients and improving the experience of staff. It has been an immense privilege to do my job."
