Claire has worked in the NHS since finishing in university in 2010.  After starting her career in her local sexual health and mental health services, she moved to NHS England in 2013.

She has spent the last six years working in staff experience, including in the health and wellbeing team (where she developed the national “having safe and effective wellbeing conversations” training programme), the violence prevention programme (where she worked alongside AACE and other partner organisations to refresh the Violence Prevention and Reduction Standard) and the civility and respect programme (where she supported the commission of the Active Bystander training programme).

Claire now works in the EDI Policy team, where she has responsibility for supporting ICBs and organisations as they implement EDI initiatives and deliver against the NHS EDI Improvement Plan.
