Medical director appointed at Moorfields

Moorfields Eye Hospital has appointed consultant ophthalmologist and clinical director, Louisa Wickham, as medical director after Nick Strouthidis stepped down to focus on clinical practice.

Wickham joined the trust as a consultant in vitreoretinal surgery and medical retina in 2009 and was appointed joint medical director of Moorfields South in 2012.

She said it was a huge privilege to be medical director at Moorfields, an organisation which she added had been a huge part of her professional life.

‘As we continue to deliver world-leading eye care against the backdrop of the pandemic, I am committed to making sure our patients get the expert care and treatment they need,’ Wickham said.
