Paul Newman said of his appointment: “I am delighted to be appointed to the board of this new charity. With integration between health and social care increasing, it’s important future healthcare professionals have a clear understanding of the rewarding careers and development opportunities available within our growing and vibrant sector. I look forward to working with the new board to ensure the voice of UK university faculties is heard.”
