One Care welcomes new board chair
One Care is delighted to announce Julia Ross as the new chair of its board of directors.
Julia’s NHS career spans more than three decades, with over 20 years spent at a senior level. She was Chief Executive of two clinical commissioning groups; first in North West Surrey, and latterly Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire.
Since retiring in 2022, she has worked as an independent consultant, and served as a non-executive director for Pier Health.
She takes over from Dr Simon Bradley, who is retiring after five years as chair of One Care’s board.
One Care Chief Executive Officer Ruth Hughes said: “Julia has a wealth of experience in the healthcare sector, and knows the health landscape in BNSSG extremely well. She will be well known to many of our key stakeholders, and is perfectly placed to become the chair of our board. I look forward to working with her to build and develop One Care to provide the best possible service and representation for general practice in BNSSG.
“I’d like to thank Simon Bradley for his contribution to One Care’s development; his challenge to the organisation to think radically and at scale; and his dedication to the role of chair and his advocacy on behalf of general practice has been invaluable.”
