WORK HISTORY
Adult Social Care Senior Policy Advisor (Vaccines, Winter Resilience, Energy) @Department of Health and Social Care
London, GB
Convened network of cross-government leads and advised ministers to deliver the Winter Statement 2022-23 (government’s flagship publication for winter support to the sector), providing reassurance amidst unprecedented care/political pressures and understaffing. My efforts were publicly praised by seniors and earned an in-year bonus, and will provide a blueprint for year-round collaborative winter planning. • Negotiated conflicting senior visions, coordinated countrywide stakeholder input and consolidated official guidance and good practice to produce the DHSC Booster Taskforce’s flagship policy publication to drive rapid uptake of COVID-19 boosters during Omicron\'s surge. The paper was published within 2.5 weeks, celebrated as a huge achievement in exceptional circumstances, and remains a standard for local authorities in delivering life-saving vaccines across England. • Spearheaded communications strategy and content for the launch of the £500 million ASC Discharge Fund during the 2022-23 winter health and care crisis, advising ministers and mobilised colleagues at-pace to deliver much-anticipated details of the Fund. • Led the delivery of Standard Operating Procedures for the national COVID-19 booster rollout to adult social care staff in partnership with NHS England, successfully resolving contentions through negotiations with senior external stakeholders and restructuring operational guidance to deliver vaccines more effectively. • Developed an agile project development tool and training, addressing skills gaps in my team, to deliver evidence-led, bespoke plans to drive vaccine uptake across ASC in response to Omicron. Standardised an evidence-backed, long-term approach to vaccine uptake across ASC tailored to specific challenges within each part of the sector.
