SCCL’s chair Heather Tierney-Moore OBE
I’m excited by NHS Supply Chain’s vision and strategy. I’m keen to use my global supply chain sector expertise to help the organisation to be the best it can be in its support of the NHS. This is my way of giving back as I retire from executive life and make the move from the US back to the UK.
