The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust has appointed Jon Green as its new chief executive.

Mr Green, who is currently chief operating officer at West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, will join the trust in May.

He replaces Dorothy Hosein, who leaves the trust in April.

Mr Green said: 'I am excited by the opportunity to help QEH at such an important stage in its recovery and to lead the organisation as it strives to deliver high quality healthcare.

'I am really looking forward to bringing some of my experiences from elsewhere and working with all staff to develop an organisation that we and our community can be proud of.'

QEH chairman Edward Libbey said: 'He brings with him an exceptional acute operational background having managed services at acute sites in London, the East Midlands and West Suffolk. '
