Welcome To IHM Scotland

Malcolm Wright

I am delighted to have been appointed to Chair the Scottish Division of the IHM and I would like to pay tribute to the work of Stuart Bain whose work in leading the IHM in Scotland in recent years has left the Institute in a very strong position on which we can build. We are also particularly fortunate to have both Jim Currie and Hilary Ianotti supporting the work of the branch as well as Hazel Scott our Vice Chair. The Scottish Division is in the strong position with over 750 members and a relatively secure financial position.

I have been a member of the Institute for some 30 years and I am convinced that managers in the NHS have a critical role to play in improving services to patients, improving health and in reducing inequalities. Managers also need a strong voice in a rapidly developing devolved Scotland while maintaining good links with our colleagues in other parts of the United Kingdom.

I look forward to working with all members in Scotland to further develop the practice, professionalism and profile of management in NHS Scotland.

Malcolm Wright
Chief Executive, NHS Education for Scotland
