NMBI is delighted to announce that Ursula Byrne will take up the position of Interim Chief Executive Officer, for the nursing and midwifery regulator, effective from July 2018.

Ursula Byrne is currently Director of Regulation for NMBI, and has worked for NMBI since 2000. She will act as Interim CEO until a new Chief Executive Officer is appointed.

Ursula Byrne replaces Mary Griffin, who has moved to take up the position of Under Treasurer (CEO) with King’s Inns.

Mary Griffin achieved a very active reform programme during her two years with NMBI, and NMBI wishes to thank her for her immense contribution to the organisation.

The President of NMBI Essene Cassidy said “Mary Griffin’s professional commitment to regulation, coupled with her energy and leadership skills, meant she set an ambitious vision and strategy for the organisation, and pursued them with zeal and enthusiasm. We are truly sad to see her go and wish her well in her new role.”
