Toby works with us part time on primary care and contributes to our system working policy team, while also a senior fellow with the King's Fund.
He has spent over two decades in the NHS, having started in mental health services before working in primary care in South-East London. He has been a director of three Trusts and was chief executive of Sandwell and West Birmingham, helping to move the organisation into the primary care space.
He specialises in major hospital builds and neighbourhood regeneration and his work now is focused on tackling poverty and health inequalities. Toby helped set up partnerships for homeless clients which have now been syndicated across the NHS and worked in Whitehall for Tony Blair’s delivery unit.
