The Vice President Professor Martin Humphries FMedSci is leading the establishment of a network of Regional Champions for the Academy to build on the already strong sense of collegiality across the Fellowship.
Champions will undertake activities in their area that increase connectivity amongst Fellows, raise awareness of the Academy’s work amongst the broader biomedical community, and facilitate engagement between the Academy and the Fellowship.
We are delighted to announce that the following Fellows have been confirmed as the Academy’s Regional Champions.
If you would like to discuss the scheme further please contact nick.hillier@acmedsci.ac.uk
