The East of England Ambulance Service (EEAST) has appointed Tom Abell as its new permanent chief executive following the departure of Dorothy Hosein.
Mr Abell, currently deputy chief executive at Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, will formally take up the role in the autumn.
Ms Hosein, who took over leadership of the service in 2018, told staff of her plans to step down in January after a severe bout of Covid.
EEAST was rocked after a highly-critical Care Quality Commission inspection report was published last September, in which the watchdog uncovered allegations of bullying and sexual harassment.
