New chair appointed

The BPS has appointed David Crundwell as the new chair of the Society's Board of Trustees. He has experience in international corporate affairs and has a long-standing personal interest in public health. 

Crundwell is also Chair of Imperial Health Charity, a former trustee of the British Geriatrics Society and, sits on the Genito-Urinary Medicine Specialist Advisory Committee with the Royal College of Physicians. He also works on several major research projects around public and sexual health.  

BPS President, Nicky Hayes, said she was delighted to welcome David to the board. 'I am confident that his expertise and experience will help the Society play an ever stronger role in championing psychology, psychologists and the wider profession. As we look to the future there never has been a more important time for clear leadership and good governance.'

We intend to feature the Board, including David, once some new appointees are in place. Voting for President Elect opens on 27 February: see www.bps.org.uk for nominees and procedure.
