Capita today announces that it has appointed Professor Sir Graeme Catto to its clinical governance board. Sir Graeme will advise on best practice and delivery models for Capita’s growing wellbeing and health services.
Sir Graeme brings a wealth of industry, medical and health knowledge to Capita, which has more than 30 years experience in occupational health. A former President of the General Medical Council, Sir Graeme is emeritus professor of medicine at the University of Aberdeen and was an honorary consultant nephrologist at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. In addition, he has served as chief scientist for the NHS in Scotland and vice-principal at King’s College London, dean of King’s College, Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Hospitals’ medical and dental schools and pro-vice chancellor, University of London.
Capita expanded the breadth of its wellbeing and health services last year, acquiring Premier Medical Group and FirstAssist Limited. In the wider health market, Capita provides support to the Department of Health and services to the NHS, helping to improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of healthcare by providing back office, informatics, governance, research, patient information and customer contact services. Capita works with some 300 NHS organisations and its expertise also spans the range of services the newly-forming GP consortia will require, providing the tools necessary for making informed decisions, freeing up valuable time and, most importantly, improving care.
Steve Sharp, managing director of Capita’s wellbeing and health services comments: “With his world class medical education experience, Sir Graeme Catto’s appointment represents a significant addition to our clinical governance board. His valuable industry insight will help us to continue to deliver a comprehensive and enhanced package of health and workforce management services to new and existing clients, as well as support Capita’s existing relationship with the NHS and Department of Health.”
Sir Graeme added; “In a rapidly growing health and wellbeing marketplace, delivering best practice in clinical governance is of upmost importance. I look forward to working with the team at Capita to assist them with continuing to adopt a best in class approach.”
