Vision 2020 UK has announced the appointment of Nigel Clarke as its new chair. His appointment follows previous chair Nick Astbury stepping down last month after six years in the role.
Clarke was noted for having a strong background within the healthcare and charity sector.
He is currently chair of the General Pharmaceutical Council, and a trustee of Partner Africa. Prior to this, he was audit chair on the board of the European Society of Cardiology, chair of Self Help Africa and chair of the General Osteopathic Council.
Clarke also founded SureCalm Healthcare in 2010, a business that provides care for people with long-term health conditions to enable them to live an independent life.
He said: ‘The potential for Vision 2020 UK as an organisation really captured my imagination, and I am so pleased and excited to commence my new role as chair.’
