Our Chief Executive Allan Marriott-Smith takes a look back over the last decade of the HTA.

I’m sure I’m not alone in the thinking that coming to the end of another decade has relatively few highlights. I can say for certain that in January 2020 I’m older, greyer and wrinklier than in 2010, and my knees have seen better days.

As an Authority Member, I and my colleagues are effectively Non-Executive Directors of the Human Tissue Authority (HTA). This gives us a fascinating oversight for the wide range of work across the HTA’s operational sectors.

Authority Members have a diverse set of backgrounds. Some of us have sector-specific experience and others are ‘lay’ members although, by law, the Chair of the HTA is required to be a lay member.
