Statement on behalf of APM president, Dr Amy Proffitt
Due to exceptional and unforeseen personal and professional circumstances, Amy has decided to step back from her operational role as APM President. She does this with great regret and much soul-searching, but recognising that this is for the best of the APM as an organisation. She will formally demit as APM President at the AGM in March 2023.
We are incredibly grateful for the enormous contribution that Amy has made to the APM for many years in the executive, as Honorary Secretary, Vice President and then President. She has given herself to the role wholeheartedly and with passion, and we salute her courage in recognising the need to step back, both for herself and for the APM.
The APM Vice-President Sarah Cox, with the other APM Officers and the APM Board, will be picking up the work of the President, and will ensure the smooth running of the APM over the next six months. The President role will transition to Sarah Cox at the Association’s AGM being held at the Palliative Care Congress in Edinburgh in March.
Any APM related questions should be directed to our secretariat at office@compleat-online.co.uk.
