For the last eight years Iain Buchan has acted as Chair of Scottish Care. Iain stood down at the AGM on the 13th June. Scottish Care owes a huge debt of gratitude to Iain for his firm yet gentle style which has brought the organisation through a considerable period of change. Under him the reach and influence of Scottish Care has grown and the importance of the voice of providers in social care has been enhanced.
The Executive is delighted to announce the appointment of Mary Preston as the new Chair of Scottish Care.
Mary has been an active member of Scottish Care since joining the Meallmore Group in 2011. She has extensive care industry knowledge and detailed understanding of the required outcomes for service users gained through her nursing background, combined with extensive strategic, quality and operational management experience over many years in both care homes and care at home services.
