Anthony Smith has been appointed dean of the School of Pharmacy, University of London, it was announced last week.
Currently head of the department of pharmacy and pharmacology at the
University of Bath, he will take up the appointment in spring 2006 following
the retirement of Sandy Florence, the current dean, who has held the
post since 1989.
Professor Smith completed both his undergraduate degree and a PhD at
the University of Bath, before taking postdoctoral posts at Aston University
and then at the University of Rochester, New York. He returned to Bath
as a lecturer in 1993, became senior lecturer in 1999 and head of department
three years ago.
Philip Brown, the School of Pharmacy’s chairman of council, said
that Professor Smith will take up the post at a time when there is a
great deal to be done at the school. “Not only will the school
have to maintain its high rating in the research assessment exercise
but also it needs to strengthen its place within the University of London
through continued participation in the Bloomsbury Consortium. Crucially,
it has to ensure that it continues to provide the range and depth of
training needed by the country’s future pharmacists.” |
