The team will strengthen ties between the NHS and foreign governments and healthcare providers, supporting NHS organisations to capitalise on overseas opportunities.

Staff in the NHS have an exceptional level of skills and knowledge, and work in a sophisticated integrated system to offer a high level of care to very large populations of patients. There is now an opportunity to share what we have with other countries in a way that makes a real contribution to the health of their people, as well as producing funds to support the NHS.
I am very excited to be part of the team at Healthcare UK which will help the NHS configure what it can offer in a way that supports the plans of overseas regional and national governments as well as those investing in emerging countries.
