The Chief Executive of NHS Grampian has announced she is stepping down and will retire at the end of the year.
Professor Amanda Croft was appointed to the role in April 2019.
In a statement to staff, the former nurse said: “Announcements like this would not normally be made this early, but the times we find ourselves in are far from normal!
My extended notice period does mean I will be able to work with my successor, whoever he or she will be, to ensure a smooth transition.
“I am absolutely committed to leading our organisation through the coming months as we adjust to living with COVID-19.”
She added: “There will be opportunities later in the year for me to share more fully what it has meant to lead this organisation over the past three years but be sure of one thing - I am incredibly proud of you all and the way we have worked together recently to meet the challenges of this pandemic”
Professor Croft also revealed the process for recruiting her replacement will start shortly.
