Scarborough Based Saint Catherine’s Hospice Announces a New Chief Executive
A registered mental health nurse consultant with a wealth of experience in the healthcare industry has been announced as the new chief executive of Saint Catherine’s.
Ray Baird takes over the helm at Saint Catherine’s in a difficult financial climate but with the aim to grow the hospice and ensure that everyone in the area has access to outstanding end of life care.
Saint Catherine’s Hospice was established nearly 40 years ago and covers a 1,600 square mile radius across North and East Yorkshire, caring for patients at the main hospice site in Scarborough and in their own homes.
Ray’s previous position was in Scotland, where he was the CEO for the largest provider of specialist day care in the country. His working life has seen him in positions in Scotland, England and abroad, having held senior positions in the Department of Health and the World Health Organisation.
On his appointment, Ray said:
“I am very excited to have taken this post, Saint Catherine’s has a great history within the local community already but I am looking forward to working with our staff to improve our services further and ensure even more families have access to our care.
“I have been fortunate enough to have been in roles which have enabled me to create and develop innovative services across many developing countries, something which I am immensely proud of, and intend to continue doing at Saint Catherine’s to help the charity to grow throughout the area.”
