About us
BPS Assessment Ltd (BPSA) is the learning and assessment arm of the British Pharmacological Society. Our mission is to improve prescribing skills among medical and non-medical prescribers around the world, supporting better decision-making and enhancing patient safety. Established in 2017, we partner globally with universities, regulators and training bodies to create tailored online learning and assessment solutions. Our flagship product, the Prescribing Skills Assessment, is increasingly recognised as the international standard in prescribing education.
Through our case-based eLearning and interactive online assessments, we help prescribers learn and practise in a safe environment, offering flexible, accessible solutions that fit a range of global curricula. We are proud of the contribution BPSA is making to patient safety worldwide.
The role
We now seek a new Chair to lead the BPSA Board in collaboration with the Managing Director, BPSA team and other Non-Executive Directors. As Chair, you will play a key role in shaping the development of our commercial strategy and ensuring our work remains aligned with our mission to improve prescribing practice. You will guide the BPSA’s growth by supporting the sales and development of new products and services, including online assessment and eLearning, and contribute to the development of new markets. You will provide insight and direction on strategic ventures, commercial partnerships, and decision-making, while fostering a collaborative environment that builds consensus and ensures all voices around the table contribute to shaping the organisation’s success.
Board meetings take place quarterly (virtually or occasionally in person in London), although there will undoubtedly be additional engagement touchpoints. Thus, more broadly, we would expect your commitment to be somewhere between half to a full day per month, on average, to deliver successfully in this key role.

We are looking for a strategic and facilitative Chair with experience at Board level, ideally including prior Chairing responsibilities. You will bring a strong understanding of governance, strategic planning, and organisational leadership, along with an ability to foster constructive dialogue and help guide impactful decisions.
Integrity, commitment, and a willingness to dedicate the necessary time and effort are essential qualities. We are particularly interested in those with expertise in healthcare or medical sciences, especially in areas such as prescribing, medical education, or assessment. Experience of working with or within the subsidiary companies of charities, as well as supporting commercial growth and international market development, would also be highly valued.
We seek passionate individuals who share our commitment to patient safety and inclusive leadership. We believe that wider society is better equipped to meet health and social challenges when a broad mix of people is involved in decision-making.
We welcome applications from individuals whose lived experiences and perspectives are underrepresented in our governance structures.
