Stephanie has more than 30 years’ experience with the NHS and has a wealth of knowledge in a wide range of areas including strategic development, leadership, organisational development and stakeholder management. She has held Board level roles for more than 10 years in both commissioning and provider organisations and has worked more recently supporting the development of integrated care and partnership working.

She believes the foundation of integrated care lies in the relationships that are built to enable it, listening to the voice of residents, and ensuring services are designed and delivered according to the need of the population to be served.  Stephanie is passionate about enabling environments where patients and staff can flourish and is focussed on developing services to ensure that people receive care in the right place, at the right time and by the right person.  Her knowledge and experience in enabling working together as a system and place is something which enables her to strive for continual improvement and ensuring that all voices are heard.

Stephanie’s role as Group Director of Place spans both Wolverhampton and Walsall, with responsibility to lead the work and development of both Wolverhampton and Walsall place based partnerships.
