A HARLEY Street doctor is set to be appointed as a governor at an Oxfordshire school.
Public health advisor Dr Charlie Easmon is due to take up the role at Cokethorpe School, near Witney.
Dr Easmon, who has more than 30 years of experience in the medical world, said: “In the last few months, schools and universities have seen many challenges but it is vital that universal education for all is a global priority.
“During this challenging time, we are seeing the resilience of school children and the education system in this country.”

Dr Easmon received a diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, after training at St George’s Hospital Medical School in London.
His work for the Foreign Office has seen him take on assignments across the globe, in countries such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Israel and Japan.
Damian Ettinger, headmaster at Cokethorpe, said: “We will be stronger for having his input as we look to higher planes of academic and pastoral success.
“He is an excellent speaker and has addressed our sixth formers on a number of health-related matters over the years.”
