One Care appoints new independent non-executive directors
One Care has appointed Hilary Croft and Nigel Stevens as Independent Non-Executive Directors (INEDs), who will provide strategic guidance, governance oversight and constructively challenge decisions made by its Board.
Both Hilary and Nigel will help to ensure One Care operates effectively, ethically and in the best interests of its members, in addition to supporting business development and making sure member practices are at the centre of decision-making.
Hilary is an experienced Chief Executive, with Board and Trustee experience across non-profit and commercial organisations including Coeliac UK, where she is the Chief Executive Officer. Her experience includes governance, strategy and organisational growth, with a particular focus on balancing social purpose and commercial sustainability.
Nigel has more than 18 years of non-executive Board, governance and executive leadership across the public and private sectors. He has held several senior executive and non-executive roles, including at board level within the NHS, and brings strong expertise in governance, financial oversight, and income generation.
Ruth Hughes, One Care’s chief executive officer, said:
“As One Care continues its mission of empowering general practice, both Hilary and Nigel will play a key role in supporting our member practices to navigate change, influence system decisions and deliver high-quality care.“Hilary and Nigel bring complementary skills and I’m confident their appointments will help strengthen governance, support innovation and ensure One Care continues to deliver value for its members. It’s a pleasure to have them both on board and I look forward to working closely with them both in the coming months.”
