“Andrew will be a key member of the new executive team Jacqueline Totterdell and I are starting to build here at the Trust. He is highly experienced, with an impressive track record, and brings fresh ideas to the dual challenge we face of improving services for patients, whilst also making the organisation financially sustainable. However, it is challenge we are ready for, and determined to meet.”
Andrew Grimshaw said:
“I am excited to be joining St George’s, and look forward to meeting staff, and being a part of the new executive team at the Trust. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at London Ambulance, and wish the organisation all the best for the future.”
