As you may be aware, the current Chair of JAG, Matt Rutter, is due to demit at the end of the year. Following a successful recruitment process, we are pleased to announce that Tom Lee has been appointed to the role as the new JAG Chair, starting on 1 January 2026.

We spoke to Tom to get his reaction to being appointed Chair of JAG 'I'm honoured to be appointed the incoming chair of JAG. I've had the opportunity to work with the JAG team as part of the NED project over the last 12 years. I'm looking forward to building on the strong position JAG holds in improving endoscopy services and training across the UK.' 

The JAG team are excited to welcome Tom and look forward to working with him in this new capacity!
