I was a GP in Bristol and held numerous leadership positions within the NHS. I was Director and then Chair of Avon Local Medical Committee and a Non-Executive Director of GP Care.
In 2014-15 I undertook an MSc in global ethics at Birmingham University, writing my dissertation on the ethical issues that assisted dying raises for GPs.
In December 2015 I took up the role of CEO of Caritas Social Action Network, the social action agency of the Catholic Church in England & Wales. During that time I was Co-Chair of the Centre for Catholic Social Thought and Practice and a Board Member of Caritas Europa. In March 2021 I stepped down from the role with Caritas and returned to the NHS to assist with the Covid-19 vaccination programme.
I hope that my experience in social action, medicine, entrepreneurship, ethics and Catholic social thought can contribute to the work of the Cadbury Centre.
