Health professionals are mourning the loss of Professor Norma Brook who died on Wednesday 31 December 2008.
Norma was president of the Health Professions Council (HPC) from May 2001 following her appointment by the Secretary of State for Health until her retirement in July 2006.
As president, Norma worked tirelessly to ensure the HPC delivered its legislative objectives by way of its new fitness to practise processes, overseeing the quality standards of numerous health education programmes and the regulation of new health professions.
Norma worked with all of HPC’s stakeholders including consumer organisations, registrants, professional bodies, employees, educators and the governments of the four home countries.
Under Norma’s leadership the HPC gained international recognition and was committed to working with other international regulators of health care professionals to help share best practices.
A full tribute to Norma can be found in February's Synergy News.
