He was acting Interim Chief Operating Officer of NHS England for a period in 2023.
Sir James took up post as Interim CEO of NHS England on the 1st April 2025 to lead the transition process of NHSE being taken back into DHSC, a financial reset for the NHS and implementation of the 10 Year Plan.

In this lecture, Sir James will share his priorities and plans, including: Leading the transition of NHS England back into the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), steering a financial reset for the NHS.
