Ian began his career in healthcare in 1998 as a government economist, providing advice to the Department of Health on workforce, primary care, and finance.
Ian joined West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership as Director in August 2016. He leads the strategy and partnership directorate, which provides support and infrastructure to our leadership across West Yorkshire.
Since November 2019, Ian has worked one day per week as a National Systems Advisor for NHS England / Improvement on national integrated care system policy design, working with other systems to support their development.
‘I have loved working in the partnership over the last six years and it has been great to be part of it as it has grown and flourished. It is an absolute privilege for me to continue in this role. The move to statutory integrated care board arrangements represents an important next step for us. The challenges ahead of us are significant, but I am confident we have the leadership, relationships and delivery focus to tackle them head on’.
