Announcing the departure of the Chief Executive, Ian Brack
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.”
