Last day for hospital trust’s Chief Executive
30/06/2022
Professor Halthof launched a new eBook reflecting on the Trust’s achievements and the future on his last day
The man who has been in charge at the Horton General Hospital is stepping down today. Professor Bruno Holthof has been the Chief Executive Officer of Oxford University Hospitals Trust, which runs the Horton General, since 2015.
It was announced earlier this year that Professor Bruno Holthof would be standing down.
In a message to staff at the Trust he said: “I would like to say a personal thank you to everyone who I have had the pleasure of working with during my time leading our OneTeamOneOUH.
“It has been a privilege to lead the Trust since 2015, not least during the COVID-19 pandemic when your resilience, innovation and teamwork were all key to our response to this once in a lifetime challenge for our NHS.”
The Trust’s Chair, Professor Sir Jonathan Montgomery, said: “I would like to thank Bruno for his service to OUH since his appointment in October 2015. He has set the tone for our commitment to compassionate excellence and he has shown exceptional leadership throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Bruno is rightly very proud of what staff at OUH and in our partner organisations have achieved in rising to the personal and professional challenges which we have all faced over the past two years. His personal contribution during this period in particular has been immense.”
The process to recruit Professor Bruno Holthof’s replacement is underway. Until that is complete Professor Meghana Pandit, OUH’s Chief Medical Officer, will take the role of Interim Chief Executive Officer.
On his last day Professor Halthof launched a new eBook reflecting on the Trust’s achievements and looking forward to the future.
He said: “OneTeamOneOUH – Past, Present, Future is structured around the three key elements of our OUH Strategy which underpins all that we do – Our People (all staff working across the Trust), Our Patients and Our Populations.”
