The Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care is delighted to announce that Mark Hazelwood has been appointed to take over as its new Director following the retirement of Pat Wallace in December 2009.
Mark began his career as an NHS Scotland Management trainee, moving subsequently through a series of management roles in the Scottish acute sector. He then spent four years running VSO’s international development operations in Ghana, West Africa, a role he carried out as a job share with his wife. Returning to Scotland he became Director of the Multiple Sclerosis Society Scotland, leading the organisation through nine years of growth and development.
Mark will be joining the Partnership from his current position as the manager of Scotland’s Mental Health Research Network.
