After nearly eight years
leading the GDC, Ian Brack will be stepping down as Chief Executive and
Registrar on 6 November.
Under his leadership the
organisation has changed almost beyond recognition, and Ian Brack is leaving
having placed the GDC on a sound financial footing and implemented a strong
culture of planning and operational delivery.
The Council is soon to confirm
the budget and Annual Retention Fee (ARF) for next year, along with the Costed Corporate Plan for
2024-2026. Having these important decisions settled will be a good point to
recruit a new CEO to take our priorities into the future.
The Chief Operating Officer,
Gurvinder Soomal, will act as Interim Chief Executive until a new CEO and
Registrar is in place.
The GDC’s Chair, Lord Toby
Harris, said:
“I would like to take the
opportunity to say that my colleagues on the Council and I have very much
enjoyed working with Ian over the years and are grateful for the significant
contribution he has made to the GDC. I am personally grateful to him for
helping me to settle into the role after my appointment as Chair. Both I and my
colleagues on the Council wish Ian the very best for the future, and we look
forward to working with Gurvinder as interim CEO.”
