Interim CEO appointed for team LNWH
We're delighted to announce that Mark Titcomb (pictured above left) has been appointed interim chief executive of LNWH following a competitive process. He will start in post when CEO Pippa Nightingale leaves for Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at the end of July.
Mark joined team LNWH in 2022 as the managing director of Ealing and Central Middlesex hospitals and the North West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (EOC).
Pippa said: "Congratulations to Mark as he takes on this important challenge. Leading LNWH has been a genuine pleasure, so I will be watching with pride as you all continue with the successes we've made together."
During his time at the trust, Mark has led on the introduction of the EOC and the Ealing Community Diagnostic Centre, both of which have improved access to vital healthcare for north west Londoners.
He has previously held senior operational roles at West Middlesex University Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and elsewhere in the NHS.
Mark said: “I'm excited to step into this role at such an important time. We have a superb workforce delivering such great care for our patients and communities every day.
"We have the chance to really build on that by working together, and by making the most of group opportunities for closer collaboration and shared learning."
Mark, along with the other trust-level chief executives in the North West London Acute Provider Group, will report to Professor Tim Orchard as group chief executive.
Tim said: "Mark has already played a key role in the Group by successfully establishing our first, major, joint development - the North West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre.
"I am delighted we will be able to draw on his excellent collaborative leadership skills and experience further as he steps up to his new position."
