The Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences has established a new International Advisory Board (IAB) – a significant step forward in advancing the Department’s global engagement and leadership as it delivers its Strategy 2025-2030.
The Board has been created to provide independent, high-level advice and international perspective to support this ambitious next phase for the Department. Acting as a critical friend, the IAB will offer guidance on emerging scientific and policy trends, support the development of strategic global partnerships, and help strengthen the Department’s impact on health systems and communities worldwide.
A distinguished international membership
The launch of the IAB brings together a distinguished panel of international experts. Chaired by Dr Victor J. Dzau, President of the National Academy of Medicine (USA), members are: Professor David Bates (Harvard Medical School), an internationally recognised leader in health informatics and patient safety; Professor Ajay Singh, Senior Associate Dean for Master’s Academic Affairs at Harvard Medical School; Professor Dame Jenny Harries, former UK Deputy Chief Medical Officer and former Chief Executive of the UK Health Security Agency; Professor Paul Little, Professor of Primary Care Research at the University of Southampton and former Chair of the NIHR Programme Grants for Applied Research; and Dr Mairi Gibbs, CEO of Oxford University Innovation.
