Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board announced that ICB Chief Executive Officer, Sue Harriman, will leave the organisation at the end of September 2025 ahead of a new NHS role.

Sue will take up the post of Chief Executive of Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (HHFT).

Speaking about Sue’s departure, ICB Chair, Stephanie Elsy said: “I would like to extend my congratulations to Sue on securing this exciting opportunity to lead a major acute trust at a time of significant change for NHS provider organisations.

“I am of course very sad to see Sue leave us at BSW ICB. She has brought exceptional leadership to our ICB over the last three years.

“With her strong sense of values, Sue is a compassionate leader who has brought a very human face to steering our organisation through some of the most challenging times in the NHS.

“It is under Sue’s thoughtful leadership that we have forged strong working relationships with our partners across the complex and diverse BSW system, established our innovative community-based care contract - a shining example of the strategic commissioning advocated in the new NHS 10-Year Plan, and supported partners and providers during periods of unprecedented operational demand.

“Sue has been a visible and inspiring chief executive officer whose nursing background means that she has never forgotten what it means to serve on the front line of health and care delivery, and how the work we do every day makes a tangible difference to the way our local NHS operates.

“Her stewardship of BSW ICB has focussed on ensuring that together, we are able to tackle healthcare inequalities and seek fairer and more equitable outcomes for the people and communities we serve. I wish Sue all the very best in her new role.”
