The Government’s Chief Scientific Adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance, will become the next Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Natural History Museum.

Starting out in medical research and becoming a Professor of Medicine at University College London, Sir Patrick’s early aspirations were to become a palaeontologist. As the current Government Chief Scientific Adviser providing scientific advice to the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and members of the cabinet, Sir Patrick is well known for appearing alongside Johnson and Chief Medical Officer for England Professor Chris Witty during the televised briefings on COVID-19.

The Board of Trustees is made up of 12 members, and is responsible for overseeing the management of the Museum. Sir Patrick is expected to take over the role as Chairman from The Lord Green of Hurstpierpoint near the start of 2023.
