Concerns are growing for the welfare of Petra Srncova, 32, a senior nurse assistant at Evelina London Children’s Hospital, near London Bridge, who has been missing since November 28.

She was last seen on a bus after withdrawing money from a cashpoint.

She is thought to have left work at about 7.45pm that Sunday and withdrew the money before getting on a bus towards Elephant and Castle, south London.

Yesterday, Harriet Harman, Labour MP for Camberwell and Peckham, held a press conference to appeal for information about her whereabouts.

Holding up a missing poster she said she was very worried about her.

She said: “Petra is missing and we want people to help the police find her. She has been missing for quite a few days now and her parents, of course, are desperately worried about her.

“I believe we have all got a particular responsibility to help try and find her because she was away from her home country, in the Czech Republic, and away from her family here working in our National Health Service as a nursing assistant.

“We are calling out to any of her friends or anyone who has seen her to get in touch with police with whatever you know.”

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said Ms Srncova changed to another bus, travelling towards her home in Camberwell, south London, and was last seen at about 8.22pm.

She is said to have been wearing a green coat and was carrying a red backpack.

Ms Srncova was reported missing on Friday, December 3, by a colleague. Her family in the Czech Republic have not heard from her.

The Evelina hospital said on Twitter: “We are extremely concerned about our valued colleague Petra who is missing. “We want to encourage anyone who may have any information that could help to find her to contact the police.”

A man has been arrested in connection with her disappearance and is in custody.
