Richard is particularly focused on partnership working, addressing inequalities and improving services to the most vulnerable.

Siân Walker-McAllister joins the Board in September 2022 as a non-executive director. She is an independent social care consultant, a Registered Social Worker, and an Associate of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services. A former Director of Adult Social Services, Siân has worked in London, the south west and latterly in Wales.

Siân has over 40 years’ experience in social care and currently chairs two Adult Safeguarding Boards in the south west region, and co-chairs the National Safeguarding Adult Board Chairs’ Network. She is concluding two terms of office as a Commissioner for the Jersey Care Commission in 2023 and has held a number of senior and strategic roles in housing and social care.

Siân is driven by a passion for excellence, ensuring all services to vulnerable people are person-centred, easy to access and importantly promote independence, while ensuring people are safe.

The appointments were approved by the Council of Governors on 17 June 2022.

Sir Richard Ibbotson, Chairman, announced the appointments, saying: “We are delighted to welcome Siân and Richard to our Board and look forward to the breadth of expertise that they will bring to support us in delivering better health and care for all. Having Non-Executive Directors on our Board of this calibre, with such a wealth of relevant experience will be really beneficial.”

I am certain that they will prove to be valuable assets and vigorous champions of our services in the local community.”

Richard Crompton said: “I am very pleased and privileged to be joining the Board of Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust. The national and local challenges that we face in health and social care are immense, but we have great opportunities to improve the care we provide by working more effectively with partners and by modernising our services. I hope my contribution will help in that great endeavour”.
