Brian Moore has been thanked for his dedicated service and leadership after completing two terms as a member of the North Lanarkshire Integration Joint Board (IJB). He served for eight years, including as chair from June 2025 and vice-chair from June 2022, and also chaired the Performance, Finance and Audit Committee.
Advocacy for Service Improvement
Moore was a strong advocate for service improvement and innovation, focusing on supporting people to live well and independently at home. He also developed partnerships with Strathclyde and Caledonian universities. Currently chair of the State Hospital Board for Scotland, he previously served as chief officer of Inverclyde Health and Social Care Partnership. After qualifying as a social worker in 1980, he held various management and leadership roles, bringing expertise in community engagement, service development, partnership working, and organisational change.
Moore said: "It has been a privilege to serve on the North Lanarkshire Integration Joint Board and to have had the opportunity to chair the board during a period of important work for health and social care services. I have seen first-hand the dedication, compassion and professionalism of staff across North Lanarkshire. Their commitment to improving people’s lives has been inspiring. I am proud of the progress made through strong partnership working between the IJB, NHS Lanarkshire, North Lanarkshire Council, the voluntary sector and our communities. That partnership approach is vital if we are to continue to improve outcomes for people and support them to live well, safely and independently. I’m grateful for the support I have received from fellow board members, senior leaders, staff and partners during my time on the IJB and I’m certain they will continue to build on the progress we have achieved."
