A former Guernsey doctor who served as a member of the SJEAS Clinical Steering Committee has been thanked for his service following his recent retirement.

Dr Brian Parkin joined the newly formed committee as chairman in September 2012. Since that first meeting and despite a number of membership changes during the six and a half year period Dr Parkin was an ever present member, sharing his knowledge and experience.

Chief Officer Ali Marquis said “Apart from the aforementioned knowledge and experience, Dr Parkin has provided the committee with a calm, measured approach to all discussions and decision making, in the interests of promoting greater clinical awareness and the clinical progress of the SJEAS.

All the Service employees who have been members of the committee, I am positive would agree, that it has been a pleasure and a privilege to have worked alongside Dr Parkin over the last few years. We all would like to wish him the very best for a happy, healthy retirement.”      

Dr Parkin was presented with an engraved trophy by Ali Marquis and the chair of the SJEAS board Steve Le Page.
