In addition to her frontline clinical work, Dr Stanley has held a range of senior system leadership roles. She is Clinical Director of Stort Valley & Villages Primary Care Network, Chair of a GP federation, and the Urgent and Emergency Care (UEC) Strategic Lead for Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board. Through these roles she has led major programmes of transformation, focusing on integrated working across organisational boundaries, reducing avoidable admissions, and building innovative pathways for frailty, children and young people, and urgent community response. Her work has been recognised nationally, including an HSJ award for the “Waiting Well” pathway for children and young people with suspected neurodiversity, and contributions to the NHS Confederation’s PCN Network and national policy groups on ethical funding flows. She has recently been developing the “Place-Based Outcomes and Reinvestment Model (PBORM),” an innovative funding framework that seeks to align incentives across the health and care system by reinvesting savings back into local services to drive better outcomes. Dr Stanley is passionate about clinical leadership, compassionate system design, and inspiring teams to deliver high-quality, sustainable care. She brings a distinctive perspective as a primary care leader embedded within an acute trust, with a strong commitment to collaborative working and population health improvement.
