New HQ appointments
Christine Gray, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s
head of practice, is to devote the next two years to a project on internal
governance within the Society. Her role as head of practice will be filled
by Nigel Graham, who joins the Society on 23 July.
Ms Gray’s new project follows on from the work of
the corporate governance group on the Council’s governance arrangements
and focuses on the arrangements applying to the Society’s staff. The aim
is to ensure that the Council has the information it needs to formulate
and prioritise the Society’s policies, to empower staff to implement the
policies determined by the Council, and to ensure effective use of the
Society’s resources. The project is expected to produce benefits for the
Society’s members, its Council, its staff and other stakeholders.
Mr Graham’s background is mainly in community pharmacy.
He graduated from Liverpool school of pharmacy in 1980 and undertook his
preregistration training at York District Hospital. He then spent nine
years in independent community pharmacy before joining Boots The Chemists.
After a series of store-based roles he was appointed primary care services
manager for North Thames, then professional development manager for Western
Home Counties and latterly professional development manager for Scotland.
He joins the Society on a two-year secondment from Boots.
The Society says that Mr Graham’s past roles have
given him a breadth of experience of working within National Health Service
strategy at both local and national level in a number of locations in
Britain.
