Board of Directors
The Board of One Care (BNSSG) C.I.C previously comprised 12 nominated and elected voting directors from practices across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire plus four non-voting members. There are six ‘locality’ areas in BNSSG, and there were two Board members from each.
On 10 October 2024, One Care (BNSSG) C.I.C’s shareholders voted to adopt new Articles of Association and a new Shareholder Agreement. Section eight of the new agreement included changes to the composition and structure of the One Care Board of Directors.
These changes mean the board will comprise:
- six directors (one from each locality) appointed from qualifying members in BNSSG (eligible to vote)
- the CEO and up to two other members of the executive leadership team (eligible to vote)
- two members of the GPCB leadership team (not eligible to vote)
- up to two independent members, external to the organisation (eligible to vote)
The Board is currently in the process of transitioning to this new structure.
