OneMedicalGroup leadership changes to target growth

Former executive chairman Michael Beverley and former chief executive Rachel Beverley-Stevenson, who founded Leeds-based OneMedicalGroup in 2004, become vice chairman and executive chairman respectively.

After six years with the group, Dr William Dawson, chief medical officer, becomes chief executive with Susan Gale promoted from head of finance to finance director.

OneMedicalGroup, which has a £20m turnover and employs 250 people, develops primary care premises for the NHS, as well as delivering GP and urgent care services.

The group’s 15 sites currently deliver NHS Urgent Care in Sheffield, Derby, Corby, Leeds and Bracknell alongside NHS Primary Care at GP practices in Cumbria, Derbyshire and Yorkshire.

The company’s mission ‘improving lives’ is underpinned by the vision to reach over one million patients each year, grow turnover to over £50m and workforce to over 1,000 employees across the company’s divisions: OnePrimaryCare, OneMedicalProperty, OneMedicalTechnologies, OneWorkforce and OneWellness.

Mr Beverley said: “Dr William Dawson and Susan Gale’s appointment as CEO and finance director respectively will support the vision and growth for the group as we build our offer and range of services to support and transform NHS models of care and wellbeing over the next decade.”

Dr Dawson added: “The current COVID-19 situation has demonstrated the need for greater collaboration and innovation across the healthcare system and will be key to our evolution and ambitions for growth.”
