FPM welcomes new Chair of Education and Standards Committee

Dr du Plessis commented:

“I have been fortunate in my career to work in many different parts of the Pharmaceutical Industry: Medical, Commercial, Pharmacovigilance, Clinical Operations, Data Management, Medical Information and then regional and global medical leadership roles. Although a large part of learning happens on the job, the need for education and standards have always been clear to me. Hence my involvement in the Medical Affairs Professional Society and co-chairing their Leadership and Development committee for a number of years.

I look forward to the next three years to work with the committee members and other colleagues in ensuring not only appropriate standards at the FPM, but also an exploration of continuous improvement, efficient collaboration and staying current in the way that we evaluate knowledge.”

We are delighted to be working with Dr du Plessis and would like to express our thanks to him for volunteering to give his time to the Committee in what promises to be a busy and exciting year.

Dr du Plessis takes office in January 2025.
