Executive Committee

President: Dr Ben Harris

My name is Dr Ben Harris and I have the honour to serve as IOM Medical Society President at the moment.

I have worked my whole career in palliative care and my current job title is Director of Clinical Governance and Compliance at Hospice IOM, where I have worked for the last 30 years.

My main focus at the moment is trying to dissuade Manx politicians from legalising Assisted Dying, which I don’t believe would be in the best interest of the Manx population especially those approaching the end of their lives

This is my second time acting as President and my term of office will finish in October 2024.

BMA Secretary: Dr Adele Payne

Hello, I’m Dr Adele Payne. I was raised on the Isle of Man and graduated from Dundee University in 2021. I came back to the island for my foundation years and recently started my GP training on the island. I am the honorary BMA secretary for the society and am excited to represent the Isle of Man at ARM in June in Belfast.
