PUBLIC SECTOR: Royal Hospital appoints comms director

The Royal Hospital has appointed Terry Osborn as director of fundraising and communications. He will lead a team of 12 on all PR and marketing activities and will report to newly-appointed chief executive Peter Franklyn. 'My brief is to ensure all our marketing and communications services are reached by our many target audiences,' said Osborn, who joins from the Wessex Medical Trust where he served as a director for four years. His replacement is yet to be appointed. The Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability relies on donations to fund its work.
