Executive Director of Therapies and Health Science

Peter qualified as a Podiatrist in 1994 and first came to work in Wales in 1995 for the Gwent Community Health NHS Trust and continued his clinical role with Gwent Healthcare NHS Trust, working across all localities in both acute and community sites and in primary care.  In 2000, Peter won a place on the Welsh NHS Management Training Scheme and has since undertaken a range of operational and strategic roles locally in Gwent and at a national level.  In 2006, Peter was seconded to Welsh Government as a Policy Lead for Renal Services and Organ Donation, where he led the public debate and formal consultation on organ donation consent, which subsequently pathed the way for the legislative change in Wales.  In 2010, Peter spent time working with a small health and care charity in a remote part of North West Cameroon as part of the Wales for Africa International Learning Opportunities Programme.

Since December 2017, Peter has been covering the role of Director of Therapies and Health Science, representing 18 different professions at Executive and Board level.  Peter is committed to ensuring our workforce are equipped and supported to be the best at what they do, and that Aneurin Bevan University Health Board is a fair, equitable and rewarding place to work.  Peter is excited about the delivery of the Clinical Futures Strategy having been involved in its development at the start of his management career in the early 2000s, and the opportunity this now presents for Therapy and Health Science professions.
