Sir Richard Sykes, Trust Chairman, said:
“I would like to thank Jeremy Isaacs and Sir Anthony Newman-Taylor for their hard work and dedication to the Trust over many years. Their guidance in matters of finance and medicine respectively, has been extremely valuable to the leadership of the Trust.
“In Andrew, Peter, Nick and Victoria we have four very high-calibre and experienced individuals who are committed to the delivery of excellent healthcare services at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. I look forward to working with them over the coming years.”
