I support a team that provides RAT Kits, on-site Covid marshalls and Allied Health Professionals with additional clinical care and health software to help reduce the spread of Covid within workforces. Rapid Antigen Testing is the ultimate layer of protection in keeping businesses open and operating safely. With testing conducted onsite and results available within 10-15 minutes, organisations are rest assured that the risk of COVID-19 entering a worksite is greatly reduced.Exposing your workplace (manufacturing, distribution etc) to even a single positive case can endanger your team and lead to costly closures and cleaning. Rapid Antigen Testing provides confidence that the potential for a COVID-positive employee entering a worksite is greatly reduced.Through health grade software - the testing and management reporting provides health reports and alerts for any positive results, with immediate notification. Systems can be setup for pre-entry screening with a negative result 'texted' or displayed on a mobile device for security entrance.Currently working with a number of NZ top 20 organisations in the distribution and building industry Bodycare was part of the initial Ministry of Health Trial to develop testing for organisations. We have managed to prevent a number of workers from entering the workplace with Covid symptoms that later proved positive, ensuring that the rest of the team remained negative and able to go back to family each day knowing they are not symptomatic.My role is diverse and includes setting up a fast growing team of contract and permanent staff, rapidly deploying sites, managing processes and ensuring compliance.

Contract Project work - fixed project.Extended my stay at EECA on a fixed term contract to look into capital and carbon opportunities across the Health Boards in NZ. This included working with them to gauge level of new energy plant, carbonmeasurements and new infrastructure and building spends. The goal was to create a best practice guideline for efficient buildings and plant moving ahead. I had direct engagement with project and energy and sustainability teams to rank and progress effective carbon reductions and energy efficiency opportunities including transport. Primarily I focused on the healthcare sector - in particular the District Health Boards. The outcome was a database of opportunities and sector driven focus areas for future carbon reductions including better building design and staff engagement.
