The IBD Registry Board is
delighted to announce the appointment of Liz Dobson as the first Chief
Executive Officer of IBD Registry Ltd from 16th April 2018.
The IBD Registry is familiar
to many as the first UK-wide collection of anonymised adult and paediatric IBD
data for prospective audit and research. The British Society of
Gastroenterology (BSG), The Royal College of Physicians (RCP), and Crohn’s and
Colitis UK joined forces at the end in 2017 to launch IBD Registry Ltd – an
independent not-for-profit company and a new legal entity that positions the
Registry for future growth. Liz will be the
first Chief Executive of the new organisation.
Liz brings to the IBD
Registry 20 years of executive and senior management experience from the
private and not-for-profit sector, including early stage businesses. She brings
both the leadership and business skills that the IBD Registry needs as a new
non-profit company, combined with a robust background in operations, and technical
understanding that will be of huge benefit to the Registry as it embarks on
this next stage of its growth. Liz's
experience is underpinned by a Sloan Fellow MSc (Business) from London Business
School, and BSc (Maths) first class honours.
She commented: “I’m delighted
to be appointed as the Registry’s first CEO at this exciting and crucial stage
of its development. My aim is to help the team to build on their considerable
success to date for the benefit of all our stakeholders. I’m especially keen to
develop enhanced ways of supporting clinical teams to gather and harness data
that can be used effectively to develop better services and deliver better
outcomes for IBD patients. I look forward to working with you all to realise
the very bright future I believe we can create together for the Registry.”
Amanda Quincey, current
Chair* of the IBD Registry Board commented, “the Board are delighted to welcome
Liz Dobson to the team. She joins us with excellent experience and shares our
ambitions for an exciting future for the Registry. We have recently faced some challenging times
as we have been transitioning into our new form, and we thank all our
stakeholders, especially clinical teams, for their continued support and
patience during that period.”
IBD Registry Ltd is an independent
