The HealthInvestor Power List celebrates the most effective, inspiring and influential leaders across key aspects of independent healthcare, and The HealthInvestor Power List Residential Leader prize is given in recognition of the chief executive who encapsulates these qualities and more, and has steered their company most successfully through the year.

Dr Calveley has been honoured with this award for his exemplary leadership.  A prominent figure in the health and social care industry for over 25 years, Dr Calveley is a pioneer in the sector and has used his expertise to calmly and considerately lead Barchester Healthcare for the last 10 years.

Dr Calveley comments:
“I am incredibly proud to be at the helm of Barchester after 10 years and I am absolutely delighted with what we, as a team of 18,000+ people, have achieved together.  To go from one care home in 1992 to 264 in just over 30 years represents phenomenal growth.  We have opened eight new homes this year alone.

“Everything we do is focused on providing a premium caring experience delivered by our great teams to those we care for. It is never about one person’s achievement but about what you achieve as a team.  When I joined the business, our Good or Outstanding ratings were at just 40%, now we are at 86.7% Good or Outstanding with zero homes rated Inadequate which makes me immensely proud.

“How our business is perceived by all our key stakeholders is incredibly important to me, I am delighted to say that we have a very healthy +58 Customer Net Promoter Score which shows how satisfied our residents and relatives are with the care they and their loved ones receive.”

“I am delighted to accept this award for all the brilliant people who make up Barchester and who consistently provide high quality care for our residents and patients, I am proud to work alongside them all each and every day.”
