Appointment of the Next FFLM President

Nominations for the next FFLM President closed at 17:00 on Wednesday 12 August 2026, and we are pleased to confirm that Dr Deryn Evans was the sole nominee and has indicated her willingness to serve as President.

Many will already know Deryn as our hard-working Academic Dean, where her expertise and clear, steady leadership have been invaluable to the Faculty.

Deryn began her career in General Practice before stepping into the role of Forensic Physician for the States of Jersey Police in 2015. Since then, she has achieved Membership of the FFLM, become an FFLM Examiner, and taken on the role of Academic Dean. Today, she serves as Clinical Director of the Jersey SARC, offers a paediatric SARC service to Guernsey, works on-call shifts as a Forensic Clinician offering both general forensic medical services and SARC cover, and is Jersey’s first Assistant Coroner. Alongside these responsibilities, she undertakes expert witness work locally, supports homeless and vulnerable adults through her GP work, and serves as a GP appraiser.

Deryn will become President‑elect in November 2026, before formally taking up the role of President at the AGM during the May 2027 Annual Conference.

Congratulations Deryn and thank you for your continued dedication to the FFLM.
