The MAS Board has approved the launch of a new governance programme exclusively for MAS Members that are doctors, dentists and veterinarians with entries opening 1 May 2025.
The Future Practitioner Director Programme is intended to support the pipeline of new governance talent in those core health professions. This includes those that are eligible to apply for a future Practitioner Director position on the MAS Board.
The programme is designed to be as flexible as possible to fit with our Members’ existing governance journey, development plans and aspirations. Successful applicants will receive mentoring by MAS Board directors, have an opportunity to sit in on the MAS Board, and receive funding towards governance education and training. Participants will also receive structured training on insurance, investments and regulation fundamentals.
“One of the key drivers for the Programme is that it has become increasingly challenging for MAS to recruit Practitioner directors to the Board, who have the necessary skills and experience to govern an increasingly complex and highly regulated group of financial services businesses,” says MAS CEO Suzanne Wolton.
“MAS appreciates that it can be challenging for busy health professional to get the necessary skills and experience to transition into governance roles. Through the MAS Future Practitioner Director Programme, MAS hopes to contribute to lifting corporate governance skills across the medical, dental and veterinary professions.”
