East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust chair is to step down

The chair of the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) is to step down after leading the trust for three years.

Nicola Scrivings joined the trust in November 2019 after previous roles with a community services NHS trust, a Cambridge-based housing association and national roles with the Audit Commission and the Health and Care Professions Council.

As chair, Ms Scrivings has overseen a period of improvement for the trust, which has been recognised by the Care Quality Commission and NHS England. The service is progressing towards a ‘good’ rating. She will stay until her replacement is recruited.

Ms Scrivings said: “I truly believe we are heading in the right direction under the guidance of our chief executive and the board.

“I wish the new chair a successful future with EEAST.”
