I am open to invitations to contribute to your work through consulting - please get in touch to discuss. Thanks to my wide ranging career - encompassing medicine, research, education, the third sector, and healthcare advocacy - I have developed competence in instigating positive change in challenging situations and in complex organisations.

 

My strengths and competences in this area, enable me to offer consulting, including in:

• Integration of compassionate approaches and trauma-informed principles in organisations including healthcare and education

• Facilitating organisations to increase accessibility and reach to groups who are currently under-served; foregrounding the voices of people who are marginalised 

• Leading working groups towards policy development and change; negotiating with diverse people with differing perspectives to successfully reach a common goal

• Increasing understanding and confidence in palliative care, and advising on integration of palliative care principles in organisations

• Data analysis and interpretation of research findings in context

• Critical review of academic writing e.g., research proposals and writing for publication, providing robust feedback to support your successful submissions

• Medical education consultancy e.g., curriculum development or revision, improving organisational culture, and teaching and learning optimisation

• Review of clinical, research, or patient information materials for accuracy and effectiveness

​

The organisations I have worked with include:

• Department of Health and Social Care, United Kingdom Government

• Department of Work and Pensions, United Kingdom Government

• Royal College of Physicians, United Kingdom

• Association for Palliative Medicine, United Kingdom and Ireland

• Centre for the Art of Dying Well, United Kingdom

• PallCHASE (Palliative Care in Humanitarian Aid Situations and Emergencies), International

• Patient Led Research Collaborative, International

• Medical schools, including in United Kingdom, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia

• Numerous third sector organisations including the British Polio Fellowship

​

I have developed an international network of effective contacts in public health and healthcare, including palliative care, through global experiences including my Churchill Fellowship.
