The chief executive of Whittington Health has announced she will be leaving the trust at the end of March.
A statement said Yi Mien Koh “believes she has taken Whittington Health as far as she can and is looking at a number of opportunities”.
Dr Koh said: “I have had three very happy years at Whittington Health. However, I feel that I have taken the trust as far as I can. Whittington Health needs someone to take the trust forward on its journey to foundation trust.
“I have had a number of approaches and am looking forward to the challenges the opportunities may present.
“I would like to thank all of our hard working staff for always putting patients and service users first. It has been an honour to lead such a dedicated and passionate group of people whose enthusiasm and care have encouraged and inspired me every day.”
Whittington Health’s chair Steve Hitchins said: “I would like to thank Yi Mien for her hard work, energy and expertise in taking the organisation forward as an integrated care organisation. Much progress has been made in coordinating our services with the community and social care. I wish her every success in the future.”
The trust said former South Tees Hospitals Foundation Trust chief executive Simon Pleydell would take over as interim chief on 1 April. He has recently been working at the NHS Confederation as an associate director leading on innovation, improvement and change policy.
