Kate is a doctor who specialises in population health, and will head up the newly created Prevention and Population Health Unit hosted by Royal Wolverhampton Trust and jointly funded by Public Health at City of Wolverhampton Council, and will be working across both organisations to make recommendations for improving population health, help clinicians and managers to use data about population health to improve their decisions, and to influence and lead the development of policy and strategy.
She is currently leading the RWT smoke free programme, supporting the Integrated Care Alliance to understand population health intelligence, and supporting RWT executives to understand the role the Trust can play in tackling the wider determinants of health and embedding prevention into everyday care.
