NIHR: Dame Sally Davies to step down as Chief Medical Officer

Description

Professor Graham Lord, Vice-President and Dean of the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, University of Manchester, and a former NIHR Biomedical Research Centre director, said: “Sally has transformed the way the world views translational research. A major part of her legacy whilst in public office was the creation of NIHR in 2006, which is now the largest funder of patient focused research in the country. She has created world-leading infrastructure within the NHS and collaborating universities that really is the envy of the world.”
