At Archus my role involves...
Drawing on my background in healthcare project delivery to provide project management services to a variety of NHS bodies, across a range of capital and improvement projects.
I was drawn to healthcare by...
I was drawn to healthcare because of the profound difference you can make to people, communities, and society more broadly. When centring people at the core of healthcare delivery, every project is particularly rewarding.
Memorable career moment?
Hearing directly from a patient who was receiving cancer care in a community setting, enabled by a project I’d co-delivered, that the community setting had given them and their family important time back during treatment. It really is an honour to be in a position to improve patients' lives in this way.
Why Archus?
Both Archus’ mission and values, particularly people, communities and stakeholders being at the heart of everything, really resonate and aligns with me. At Archus, innovation is central to overcoming healthcare’s ever developing challenges, and with that comes an exciting opportunity to have a real impact.
Most significant trend for healthcare in the future?
Ongoing development and innovation within Integrated Care Systems to improve health outcomes, ongoing improvements to equitable access to healthcare in communities, and delivering sustainability within healthcare infrastructure.
