Trust Board and PEC
There are two senior levels of management within NHS Stoke on Trent - these are the Trust Board and the Professional Executive Committee (PEC).
Trust Board
The Board is made up of Executive and Non Executive Directors. Non Executive Directors are lay people who must always be in the majority on the Board. This is a government ruling to ensure the executive directors are held to account for services they deliver by members of the public.
Non Executive Directors are local to the area and have different areas of professional expertise that they bring to the Board along with their ability to work at board level.

Professional Executive Committee (PEC)
The Professional Executive Committee (PEC) is an important part of a Primary Care Trust. Only PCTs have PECs as part of their organisation, and they consist primarily of clinicians. Their function is to assess needs, examine practice and formulate policies on clinical development for the PCT, which are then submitted to the Trust Board for approval.
The fundamental role of the PEC is to think of ways of improving health care delivery in the local community so that patients can access both primary care and secondary care services quickly and without delay. There is only a finite amount of money available for health care and it is one of the PECs functions to think innovativelyon ways of delivering services without cutting down on the quality of care.
