About

Improving population health and developing effective ways of working with other organisations are complex tasks. I have direct, practical experience of doing both successfully and I can use this experience and the skills I have developed in these areas over many years to help you and your teams.

I worked in the NHS for 25 years, most recently as Director of Transformation at an acute hospital in the South West. For the last ten years I have focussed on working with other organisations, both within and outside the NHS, to improve population health. During that time I have worked closely with GP practices, GP federations, primary care networks, community and mental health teams, the voluntary sector, social care, local hospitals, CCGs, ICSs and many other organisations to create successful new approaches to population health. You can read about one example, the Symphony Programme, below.

I understand how daunting population health and place-based working can seem, but there are simple things you can do to get started, and more complex techniques you can apply as you develop the work. I have lived and breathed this kind of work and learnt a lot on the way. I can use that experience to help you.
