Tony is leaving...well, almost!
Mr Tony Schofield is one of the founding members of First Contact Clinical (FCC) CIC. At the end of 2010 Tony will retire as a director of First Contact Clinical CIC. Tony wants to devote more time to his pharmacy businesses and his hobbies – he plays a mean guitar!
Tony comments:
“It has been professionally and personally uplifting working with the other directors Dave, Morris and Debbi to start and grow this new company, which is helping to make a difference in patients’ lives. I have enjoyed working with different people with different skills and from different disciplines. It has improved my professional self esteem immeasurably, particularly winning the national Pharmacy Awards (twice) for the work I did with the FCC team.
I know that the friendships that were the start of my involvement with the FCC team will continue.”
We want to mark our gratitude and debt to Tony for working with us to turn an idea (to form a community interest company) and intention (to improve patient services) into reality (the current work of FCC).
Tony will continue to work as a prescriber for FCC.
Dr David Julien, Chair of the Directors of FCC CIC
