Oxfordshire GP Dr Nick Thomas has been appointed as our new Clinical Director.
He will take up his post on 1 May, replacing Prof Manu Vatish, who has moved into a new role at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Dr Thomas is a GP at Windrush Medical Practice, Witney, our Primary Care speciality lead and Clinical Lead for Research at the Royal College of General Practitioners.
He has significant experience working across the region and nationally with major research stakeholders, healthcare providers, universities and patient organisations.
Dr Thomas is appointed as we prepare to transition to a new NIHR Regional Research Delivery Network in 2024.
He said: “The Clinical Director is a role that I have aspired to, especially having witnessed the fantastic work by the former directors and I thank them for their hard work and expert leadership.
“It therefore is both an honour and a privilege to represent the NIHR in our region, particularly at this important time with the transformation of the Clinical Research Network.”
