One Health Group plc (AIM: OHGR), the independent provider of NHS-funded surgical procedures for patients referred by their GP through 'Patient Choice', announces the appointment of Heather Craven as part-time Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). Heather will join the Board and assume the role of CFO, both on a part‑time basis, with effect from 8 April 2026.

Heather Craven is an experienced Chartered Accountant with nearly nine years as a Non-Executive Director and extensive experience as a Finance Director across diverse FTSE, AIM and privately owned industries in the UK and internationally. Her expertise spans corporate governance, financial controls, risk management, funding, taxation, operational, financial and commercial restructuring, strategic development and implementation, and managing external relationships.

Most recently, Heather was Senior Independent Non-Executive Director at Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust which included positions on numerous committees across her tenure, including Chair of Finance and Operational Performance, Vice Chair of Nomination and Remuneration and member of Audit and Risk and Quality Assurance Committees. Heather's tenure as Independent Non-Executive Director took place during a period of significant change and improvement within the Trust, of which Heather was actively involved with shaping strategy, strengthening governance and risk management as well as being attached to a number of projects for additional scrutiny. This experience will prove invaluable to One Health as the Company looks to open its first surgical hub in 2027.

Heather's experience working with AIM listed companies and within an NHS Trust will be integral as we enter a very exciting period of growth for the business with the build and opening of our new surgical hub.

"Shantanu joined One Health as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in 2005 and has grown with our business to Medical Director and most recently Chief Medical Officer.
