Dr Claire Fuller

Dr Claire Fuller is a GP and Primary Care Medical Director for NHS England. She was previously the CEO for Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System, having had system leadership roles within Surrey for a decade with a focus on the wider determinants of health, population health management and a drive to make sure it is as easy as possible to deliver and to receive good quality care. 

In November 2021 Claire was invited by NHS England Chief Executive Amanda Pritchard to lead a national piece of work looking at primary care within integrated care systems to identify what was working well and why. The output became known as the Fuller Stocktake and was co-signed by all 42 ICS Chief Executives who committed to the recommendations. Next steps for integrating primary care: the Fuller stocktake was published in May 2022.

Claire champions true citizen and professional engagement (of the broadest remit) and believes in a population health management approach to improving patient outcomes.  She is also a firm advocate of the need to join up the public sector to ensure involvement of the wider determinants of health in reducing health inequalities for the people that live in Surrey

Claire regularly speaks nationally about the importance of multi-professional leadership, integrated care and population health, as well as the impact and implementation of the Fuller Stocktake. She has been HSJ Clinical Leader of the Year and is regularly named in the HSJ list of most influential people in the NHS. 

Claire has also been appointed as Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Health and Medical Science at Surrey University for the period April 2021 to April 2024.
