Recognising the Work of Dr Iain Kennedy as Chair of BMA Scotland

The motion

That the Parliament thanks departing BMA Scotland Chair, Dr Iain Kennedy, for his work over the past four years; understands that as a former NHS whistleblower, Dr Kennedy has consistently pushed for a more supportive culture for doctors and patients; recognises that he became Chair of BMA Scotland at a time when the NHS was emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequently became a key contributor to the Scottish COVID-19 Inquiry; notes that he used his position to call for a long-term medical workforce plan and a more sustainable NHS Scotland, and wishes Dr Kennedy the best for the future.
