NetScientific added a big name in the British medical industry to its board on Wednesday, announcing the appointment of Professor Stephen Smith as a non-executive director.

The AIM-traded biomedical and healthcare group said Smith had held senior roles in the NHS and academia, including as a clinician scientist, head of department, dean and CEO with the Medical Research Council, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

Smith was responsible for the largest merger in the NHS, the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, which brought together four London-based NHS trusts. He also served for four years as its first CEO.

"Stephen's impressive leadership experience in mergers and commercialisation internationally further strengthens the group," said NetScientific chairman Sir Richard Sykes.

"We look forward to welcoming Stephen to the team as we continue to build our subsidiary companies towards developing new technologies and concepts in healthcare management and diagnostics to improve patient care and outcomes," he added.
