Richard Everitt

Service Development Director

Richard has spent most of his career in the private sector working in senior commercial roles for blue-chip companies. He first moved into the public sector in 2013 when he joined Herefordshire CCG leading a transformation programme to modify and improve services at Wye Valley Trust.

This paved the way to his role at NHS England as the Senior Programme Lead for optometry within the central policy team. Over a 5-year period he managed all optometry related matters within primary care and led workstreams including IT connectivity, the development of the COVID Urgent Eyecare Service (CUES), plus the design and implementation of the Special Schools Eye Care Service.
