I have a keen interest in public health workforce development (globally and nationally) and I'm currently supporting efforts by WHO and partner organisations in the development and implementation of a global public health workforce strategy. I'm also an Assessor for the UK Public Health Register.
I have a background in Quality Improvement and Large Scale Change programme with over a decade of experience of working in NHS (local acute hospitals, regional NHS organisations and Academic Health Science Network).
