Ruth has worked in the ambulance sector for a number of years developing its emerging role in intelligence-led early intervention and prevention at both a regional and national level. This work has involved developing Trust strategy as well as the national direction for the ambulance sector.
Ruth is co-author of ‘Developing a Public Health Approach within the Ambulance Service’, a jointly published paper from the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives and Public Health England discussing what is meant by a public health approach within the context of the ambulance service.
Ruth also led on the development of the recently published suite of resources that describe the role of the sector to work in partnership to reduce health inequalities. These include a national consensus statement developed in partnership with key stakeholders together with associated implementation toolkit and resources.
