HOSPITAL chief Helen Moffatt is to leave Queen Mary's, Sidcup, after five years at the top.

The chief executive of Bexley's acute hospital (pictured) will leave in the autumn to take up a similar post with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

Her job at Queen Mary's was advertised last week.

Describing Queen Mary's as "a fabulous hospital with wonderful staff," Mrs Moffatt, a former nurse, said: "I will be leaving Queen Mary's with mixed feelings. I have enjoyed my time here very much."
