Maybe it was the hangover from Christmas or the focus on the impending junior doctors’ strike, but few people seemed to pick up on a quiet press release from King's College Hospital NHS Trust on January 4th, announcing that the managing director of big pharma company, Pfizer UK, had joined their board.
Erik Nordkamp will spend “up to three days a month” as a non-executive director advising on the strategic direction of one the most respected and high-profile NHS Trusts in the country, alongside his day job running the UK operations of one of the world’s most profitable and controversial drug companies.
