The medical director of the Northern Beaches Hospital is on her way out amid a litany of problems affecting patients and staff.

Dr Louise Messara will step away from her role as director of medical services just two weeks after Sydney’s newest hospital officially opened, the Herald has learned.

Healthscope's chief medical officer Dr Victoria Atkinson announced Dr Messara's departure at a Medical Staff Council meeting on Monday night. It is not known where Dr Messara will move. Dr Atkinson told the staff she would likely take up a position at another Healthscope facility.

Her exit comes after senior doctors unanimously passed a vote of no-confidence in her leadership at a crisis meeting in November, the same day the hospital's CEO Deborah Latta resigned, just two days after the hospital officially opened.
