Dr Gill Ryall said she feels privileged to take on the top role for the independent charity that provides support for people – and their families suffering life-limiting illnesses.
Sidmouth Hospiscare chairman Dr Barry Lowden said: “Gill has an excellent track record in leadership, strategic planning and relationship building and a wealth of experience in both the public and charitable sectors.
“We look forward to working closely with her to develop further the services that we provide to our local community.”
Gill said, “I feel privileged to be joining such a worthwhile organisation and look forward to working with the staff, volunteers, local community and others in the health and social care sector to provide the best possible care and support to all people in the Sid Valley with life-limiting illnesses”.
Sidmouth Hospiscare is an independent charity, funded solely through donations and fundraising.
