Elkeles, who is currently chief executive at London Ambulance Service NHS Trust, will take up his new role in late May 2025.  

Chair of NHS Providers, Professor Sir Terence Stephenson, said: ‘We have been through a robust process to find the right individual to provide leadership and support for our members, to influence key decision makers, and inspire and lead our staff team, reflecting our values and our commitment to becoming an anti-racist organisation.

‘I would like to give my particular thanks to Saffron Cordery, who as interim chief executive has led NHS Providers with great enthusiasm, insight and integrity.'

Elkeles added: ‘We're at a critical moment for the health service, with the 10-year health plan and spending review on the horizon. It's clear we need to improve productivity to deliver value for money and implement the three shifts to meet the changing needs of the population.

‘I know that trusts are up for the challenge.

‘I look forward to working with our members and the brilliant team at NHS Providers so that we can play a leading role in transforming the NHS into a health service of which the government, trusts and crucially, patients can be proud.'
