Under his leadership at the Trust, he has been a vocal campaigner for the rebuild of St Mary's Hospital which is part of the national 'New Hospital Programme'.[1][2] The Trust has the biggest backlog maintenance liability of any NHS organisation with an estimated £7m spent annually on repairs at St Mary's to stay operational.[3][4]
Early life
Orchard was born at Charing Cross Hospital at the former site on the Strand. Orchard was educated at Trinity School, an independent boys' school in Croydon.[5] Orchard's father was a gastroenterologist[6]. He undertook his undergraduate medical degree at Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge and completed his clinical training at Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School.[7]
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) research
After completing medical school, Orchard was a research fellow at the University of Oxford with Professor Derek Jewell, and has continued his research interests in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs).[8]
During his academic career at Imperial College London, Orchard and his colleagues were part of an international effort to make better use of metabolic analysis and genetics in the treatment of inflammatory gut conditions like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.[9] His research has contributed towards several national guidelines for the management of inflammatory bowel disease in adults[10], and and to NICE guidelines on spondyloarthritis in the UK.
Career
Orchard joined Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust as a registrar in 2000. He was later medical director and divisional director for medicine and integrated care. Orchard was appointed as the chief executive of Imperial College Healthcare in June 2018.[11] In 2023-24, Orchard was listed as one of the highest paid Trust chief executives in the country.
During COVID-19, he led Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust's five hospitals operationally through the pandemic, which involved reorganising services and staff to meet the demand of positive-covid cases.[12] He spoke publicly on the challenges faced by the Trust's hospitals during this period, including increasing ICU capacity with limited infrastructure and the rollout of personal protective equipment.[13]
He was also chair of The Shelford Group in 2023, a collaboration between ten of the largest teaching and research NHS hospital trusts in England.[14]
In October 2025, he was announced as the new incoming chief executive for the North West London acute NHS Trusts which will be the biggest hospital group in England.[15]
