The Association of Medical Insurance Intermediaries (AMII) has appointed Andrew Tripp as chairman.

Tripp, who has been a member of AMII's executive committee since March 2007, most recently served as AMII’s treasurer. He is also currently chief executive of broking firm Perfect Health.

Tripp succeeds Mike Izzard, who has been AMII’s chairman for the last two years.

Tripp said: “AMII continues to evolve and develop and we have some very exciting and challenging times ahead. In particular, we have to bed in the new health insurance examination alongside the [Chartered Insurance Institute] CII and ensure our relationships with insurers, other trade associations and interested parties in the health related insurance sector, continue to progress for the benefit of PMI, our members and their clients.

“AMII also has to a role to play as part of the private health sector as the NHS enters even greater challenging times, which are bound to arise following the general election and future pressures on the public purse.”
