We are delighted to announce the appointment of Sam Mauger as the new Patient and Carer Network (PCN) chair on the RCP’s strategic priorities of improving, influencing and educating.
Sam is currently chief executive of the Third Age Trust and has worked for over 20 years in health and wellbeing, giving a voice to under-represented groups.
Sam is also chair of the London Age Friendly Forum and has previously chaired a range of other entities, such as Healthwatch City of London and the London Voluntary Sector Forum.
In her new role as chair of the PCN, Sam will steer the group and set its strategic direction, working across the organisation to promote a meaningful approach to involving patients in a wide range of activities.
Sam says, ‘I am really looking forward to working with the PCN and the RCP. It is a great opportunity to learn, share and highlight the lived experience and collective knowledge of patients and carers.’
We are excited to welcome Sam to the RCP; she brings a wealth of fantastic experience that we know will further our mission to improve health outcomes for all.
Sam will be co-chairing The power of prevention, a session looking at obesity, tobacco intake and other subjects, at the RCP's Medicine 2024 conference at the end of April.
