Director of Therapies and Health Science

I am an experienced Allied Health Professional having worked for over a decade in a range of health trusts in England. My most recent role being with Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust where I held the role of Chief Allied Health Professional with responsibility for allied health and health sciences.

Originally from Liverpool I started my career as a paramedic after graduating from Coventry University. I hold a postgraduate degree in Paramedic Science, gained from the University of Hertfordshire. I stepped into leadership roles while working for University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust and Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust before I was appointed as the Director of Physical Healthcare at St Andrew’s Healthcare in Northampton.

I continue to work clinically as a paramedic, and I teach on nationally accredited life support courses for Resuscitation Council (UK).

Away from the office, I enjoy being outdoors and coastal walking. I am very much looking forward to experiencing the beauty of the Welsh coastline.
