I am pleased to be celebrating 60 years of AESGP. It has been great to be a board member for just a small part of the organisation’s rich history; in addition to enjoying many years working collaboratively between AESGP and PAGB, the consumer healthcare association in the UK. Together, we successfully navigated the challenges posed by the UK’s departure from the European Union, with AESGP colleagues playing an important role in ensuring our collective success with the commission. I am pleased to continue to work together to champion self-care across Europe.
