Richard Drummond

“I joined the Board of Trustees in December 2015. Having had a close family member (who has now passed on) with vascular dementia, I am acutely aware of the huge impact that dementia has on individuals and those who provide unpaid care for them. I joined Dementia Carers Count in the hope that I can bring my own knowledge and experience to helping deliver the organisation’s short and long term aims. Although I’m a veterinary surgeon by profession, my recent experience has been in senior leadership and management roles in the Civil Service, dealing with policy issues concerning animal and public health, and operational, financial and corporate services work. I have experience in change management and strategic planning. I’m also a trustee of Merton Mencap, which has given me a valuable insight into the provision of support for people with learning disabilities and their families.”
