I read a Pharmacology degree at Kings College London before starting Medicine at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel. I decided to pursue a career in General Practice and continue to work clinical sessions to this day and visit a care home each week. I became a board member of the Windsor and Ascot Primary Care Group in 1999 and took on a lead role for Older People’s Services, developing local falls services and working with the local authority on an Older People’s Partnership Board. Past roles include Medical Director for East Berkshire Out of Hours, Locality lead in Berkshire East PCT, Clinical Chair for Windsor, Ascot and Maidenhead CCG and NHSCC regional representative. I remain involved in the Frimley Leadership and Improvement Academy as an executive board member. I also support the Frimley ICS as a clinical lead in the Integrated Care Decision workstream, the Frailty Advisory Board and the Connected Care Programme. In October 2019 I was appointed National Clinical Director for Older people and Integrated Person Centred Care, NHS England & NHS Improvement and I am a NED for Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust.
