As the National Sustainability and EFM Workforce Lead for NHS England and NHS Improvement, my team are tasked with leading the strategies and national programmes to decarbonise the NHS Estate and develop our 100,000 strong Estates and Facilities Workforce; driving innovation, engagement and delivery, and providing healthcare organisations with the critical support they need to implement their plans. I have 17 years’ experience of working in ESG in Estates and Facilities Management. I am passionate about reducing health and social inequalities, establishing an estate that supports the transition to sustainable models of care throughout the NHS and promoting the arts. I am personally focused on driving the delivery of a healthy, resilient healthcare estate; tackling organisational leadership, investment in the built environment and developing the skills and capacity of the current and future NHS workforce. In 2018 I was humbled to be made an honorary professor at University College London (UCL) for my contribution in supporting the development of students and the university in my field.
