New Deanery 2 Congratulations to members of the New Deanery, who took office on August 1, 2018. The new senior leadership team has stepped into place to take the Faculty forward in this exciting period of expansion that is happening across all areas of activity. With more activities come more administrative responsibilities so a new position has been created, the Executive Associate Dean of Strategy and Operations, to free the rest of the team to focus on academic affairs. A special effort is also being made to nurture young clinical academic leaders, who will take on smaller specific responsibilities at first to train them for larger roles in leading the Faculty in future. The head of the New Deanery continues to be Professor Gabriel Leung, who started his second five-year term in August 2018 alongside his team.
