Peter Wyman appointed Chair of NHS Blood and Transplant

Following an open and competitive search by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), the Secretary of State has appointed Peter Wyman CBE DL as our new Chair.

Peter brings a wide breadth of skills and experience to the board having held a range of senior posts in the private, public and voluntary sectors over the course of his career.

He was a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales from 2002 to 2003.

In the health sector, he served for five years as Chair of the Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and, since January 2016, as Chair of the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

As Peter’s term of office at the CQC finishes this week, he is able to start immediately and will be joining us on 1 April.
