Specialist neurological rehabilitation operator Christchurch Group has appointed Donald Muir (pictured) as non-executive chairman.

Muir has more than 25 years’ experience of managing business transformation in the telecoms and technology and healthcare sectors, including for three NHS trusts.

Muir was a non-executive director of Cambian, the provider of children’s care services and autism schools.

Christchurch Group chief executive Richard Mckenzie said: “Donald’s experience will be invaluable to our organisation and we’re looking forward to working with him to further develop the business and continually improve on the quality of service we're able to provide to our patients.”

Christchurch Group was established in 1998 to provide high-quality brain injury rehabilitation within a community setting. The organisation has since grown into a provider of specialist neurological rehabilitation that offers a range of specialist services across eight centres in York, Lincoln, Birmingham, Northampton, Bedford and Harwell in Oxfordshire.
