GamCare has appointed the British Red Cross’ former senior director of health and care as its new CEO.
Victoria Corbishley has also worked in the NHS, the voluntary sector and in healthcare innovation, with a focus on supporting vulnerable people through intervention and prevention.
She will now oversee the gambling harm prevention charity’s work amid updates to the UK’s gambling sector such as the statutory levy on gambling harm prevention, research and treatment.
Corbishley will also lead efforts to “enhance accessibility” to gambling harm support while looking to deepen collaboration with key stakeholders.
She said: “My focus will be on ensuring GamCare remains a leader in delivering life-changing interventions while working closely with partners across the NHS and wider sector to shape the future of gambling harm prevention treatment.”
Margot Daly, chair of the board at GamCare, said: “As GamCare navigates the evolving landscape, Victoria’s leadership will be instrumental in strengthening our collaborations with the NHS as well as UKRI [UK Research and Innovation] and OHID [Office for Health Improvement and Disparities] as the new prevention commissioner.
“Her strategic mindset, operational expertise and commitment to innovation align perfectly with our mission. I look forward to working with Victoria as we continue to expand GamCare’s impact and ensure our services remain responsive to the needs of those we support.”
