Welcoming her appointment, Jacqui Smith our Chair said: “I’m really pleased to have recruited someone with Marta’s background to our Trust. Her extensive experience of working at board level in the public and higher education sectors will prove invaluable. Her insights will help us as we work more closely with Barts Health to improve the care we provide residents in north east London”.

Marta said: “I am really delighted to be appointed to our Trust as the provision of healthcare is so important for our community and has become even more important as we recover from the pandemic. I am looking forward to working with new colleagues as we continue to improve the services we offer our patients”.
