Public Health Workforce Development

Workforce development in public health aims to improve health outcomes by enhancing the training, skills and performance of public health workers.

​

I have helped individuals and teams to:

• develop workforce plans

• identify and harness their wider public health workforce

• plan programmes to develop their existing staff

​

We know that resources are constrained. My starting point is always "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are" * This usually means developing the skills of the people already working for/with you. 

​

I bring extensive training and experience in team facilitation at all levels, from front-line staff to board members. I excel in work with both high-performing teams and those navigating conflict.

​

I have been a head of school, educational supervisor and am still a verifier for the practitioner scheme.
