The BMA has appointed Peter Vicary-Smith as the new chair of BMJ and a non-executive director of the BMA.
Mr. Vicary-Smith retired from the role of Chief Executive with Which? in 2018 and he is currently a non-Executive director at Northumbrian Water and at Oxford Brookes University. During his tenure at Which? Mr. Vicary-Smith worked with a main Board which had two thirds elected from the membership and a commercial subsidiary Board of appointed executives that paid a dividend to the parent group to fund the campaigning activity and objectives. This is a very similar arrangement to that of the relationship between BMJ and its’ parent company, the BMA.
Mr Vicary-Smith is expected to take up his role in the autumn.
