CAREEER SUMMARYAs a consultant with vast experience in health, research and community leadership I work with innovative people, organisations, systems, leaders and communities to achieve transformative outcomes.My career has taken me from the healthcare sector through academia and into the not-for-profit sector. An experienced senior executive I have over many years led and developed national initiatives to increase the use of evidence in healthcare policy and practice in partnership with academic, government and non-government sectors; growing national investment in medical research and conducting and reviewing prioritisation processes and developing strategic and operational plans across a range of health, research and community sectors. I have authored a number of significant national strategies, reports and reviews in relation to health and medical research and corporate governance. I am passionate about the rights of all individuals to have a voice about planning and decision making in the health and research sectors and to have access to quality health and research information. I have established and nurtured a number of successful and diverse national community advisory committees and am the architect of Register4, a successful and growing online register of individuals with an interest in participating in research.Specialties: GOVERNANCE, STRATEGY ADVOCACY, STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND ORGANISATIONAL PARTNERSHIPSI use a my deep experience and creative thinking to identify and facilitate opportunities for organisations to take a leadership position in research policy, advocacy and consumer participation in decision-making – nationally and internationally.
