I’m a senior healthcare leader with 25 years’ experience leading system transformation, service reconfiguration, and operational improvements across international healthcare settings in the Middle East and New Zealand. I began my career in the NHS in critical care, which really shaped my belief that healthcare reform needs to stay grounded in the real experiences of patients and frontline teams.

Before recently returning to the UK, I worked for 4 years in a healthcare consultancy in Qatar, advancing national priorities such as integrated mental health and primary care reform and primary care preparedness for the FIFA World Cup 2022, and I managed large scale COVID 19 vaccination and testing programmes.

Outside of work, I enjoy trekking, mountain biking, and rediscovering the UK’s beautiful countryside.

My first 30 days at Attain have been really positive. The onboarding and induction process has genuinely been the best I’ve experienced in my career! It was well structured, and I felt supported and welcomed by everyone from day one.

Attain also struck a great balance of support as I began my first assignment, giving me the space to get up to speed while already feeling trusted, included, and able to contribute. I even had the opportunity to join a company meeting before officially starting, and I came away feeling genuinely excited to be joining such a welcoming and inspiring group of professionals.

I was drawn to Attain because of its strong reputation, values-led culture, and clear commitment to delivering meaningful outcomes for the NHS and its partners. From my first interactions, it was obvious to me that Attain places a real emphasis on its values of community, rigour, and impact – values that strongly resonate with me.

Without a doubt, it’s the people! There’s a real sense of trust and collaboration, and everyone is approachable and willing to help, even when they’re really busy. It creates an environment where you feel genuinely valued and supported to do your best work.

I’ve also really enjoyed the variety of work you can be involved in and Attain’s approach to partnering with the NHS. There’s a clear focus on working collaboratively, applying real rigour, and delivering meaningful, positive outcomes that genuinely make a difference.

I’m looking forward to continuing to add value to Attain’s clients and helping to deliver positive, lasting change. I’m excited to keep developing my skills, take on new challenges, and continue to grow my leadership as I progress in the company.
