Profile: I was born in Poland although have lived a third of my life in Yorkshire now. I had worked in mental health settings for over a decade before I joined Spectrum Community Health CIC in June 2021 as Patient Experience Lead & FTSU Guardian.

I have devoted the last few years to the experience and engagement agenda. Within my portfolio are: patient experience, co-production, lived experience, staff engagement and experience, quality improvement methodologies and Speaking Up.

Alex Olney
Job title: Paediatric Trainee Doctor
Organisation: Bradford Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust
Profile: I am a training paediatric doctor in West Yorkshire, currently working in the Emergency Department at Bradford Royal Infirmary. Over the past few years I have become more conscious about the impact that the delivery of healthcare has on the evolving climate and ecological emergency. Working in paediatrics highlights this practice as we strive to achieve healthier children, but need to give more consideration of the environment they will be living in. We also know that the most affected by climate change are those in more deprived backgrounds, most stark when looking internationally, but also relevant to our local population.

Angwen Vickers
Job title: Senior Equality and Diversity Officer
Organisation: West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB)
Profile: I am passionate about equity, engagement, and inclusion, both from a professional and personal level as someone with lived disability experience and as a carer. I currently work as a Senior Equality and Diversity Officer for West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB). As well as my day-to-day work of providing advice and guidance on equality, diversity, and inclusion I lead on accessibility providing best practice guidance and training to both ICB and West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership colleagues.
I am also a member of both the ICB Disability and Long-Term Conditions Staff Network (DLTC) and the Working Carer’s Staff Network.

I have also worked within the homelessness and supported housing sector both frontline and service development, in frontline NHS services, and the care sector.
As a person with disabilities and a carer, I am keenly aware of the health inequalities and barriers that disabled people experience. We need to make sure that disabled people are involved in shaping accessible services that meet their needs and reduce health inequalities. Key to this is ensuring that involvement is accessible and inclusive.

Organisation: Community Links, part of the Inspire North Group
Profile: My name is Beth, and I’m a Service Manager for Community Links, part of the Inspire North Group, a third sector mental health charity that supports individuals in Leeds and across Yorkshire.
I manage our Community Links NHS Hub services, a collection of contracts that we hold in partnership with LYPFT. In total, we have workers embedded in eight LYPFT services, these include our Specialist Trauma Informed Resettlement Services (STIRS) who work with individuals with complex mental health needs across Yorkshire and The Humber, our Accommodation Gateway Homeless Prevention workers who support the Leeds CMHTs and inpatient services to secure safe and suitable housing in the city and our Connect Peer Support Workers, who support those who are struggling with disordered eating.
I was drawn to this line of work because of my own history of using mental health services, I was a service user of Community Links for several years before returning as a member of staff. I found the third sector values of Community Links were integral to my recovery and these values attracted me back when I decided to pursue a career in mental health care.
I am very passionate to ensure that I work in a trauma-informed way, and that the services I lead offer the very best support for our clients and staff. This passion has led me to becoming a member of the Inspire North trauma-informed working group, leading on the strategic review of the organisation, ensuring that our policies and procedures are trauma-informed and that by 2030 we are a leading Trauma Informed organisation.

Job title: Strategic Relationship Manager
Organisation: Leeds Teaching Hospital NHS Trust (LTHT)
Profile: I am passionate about suicide prevention from the volunteer work I undertake with Samaritans Charity. I am a listening volunteer at Harrogate and District Samaritans, Giving 90 day hours and 40 overnight hours minimum each year to talk to callers on the phone or via live chat about their feelings of distress or despair up to and including suicide. I have received suicide awareness training and have been a listening volunteer for four years.
All of this work has given me a good understanding of the mental health and life challenges people face as well as gaining key skills in how to listen without judgement and without giving advice. I feel that this has motivated me to want to commit more of myself to suicide prevention.

I started my career in early years and family support and I have also supported children and young people in school and prison settings before completing a degree in psychology and being an Assistant Psychologist. I have been working with children and young people for the last 23 years and in the management of services for 15 years.
It has been rewarding to see the culture shift which I hope is moving society in the right direction towards being trauma informed but there is much more work to be done
Star Bereavement has worked tirelessly for over 25 years to advocate for bereaved young people, to raise awareness of the trauma they experience and to support them to see their own potential, something I am equally invested in. Bereavement, loss and trauma weaves through all of our lives and will be in the many threads of our inter-generational family narratives too.
At home I am Mum to my 12-year-old daughter, we created our family through adoption, and I am committed to improving support and empowerment for children and young people who are care experienced, many of whom have so much lived experience of trauma.
I love being a parent as it keeps me grounded (one way of putting it) in reality and what’s important in life!
I am excited to be part of the fellowship programme and I am looking forward to seeing what the next year brings.

David Holt
Job title: Grants/ Project Manager
Organisation: The VCS Alliance
Profile: I have been working in community development, both in the UK and around the world for 25+ years working with communities in India, Africa, and Pakistan. During this time, I developed an interest in health inequity in the form of acculturation as a system oppression, and deliberative processes that invert power putting people and communities in positions to drive positive change.
The COVID pandemic brought the inequities in our health and care systems to the fore, and I strongly believe that the voluntary sector in Bradford has an important role to play in supporting our system partners to develop change. Health must be seen in a wider context if health outcomes are to be improved. This means restructuring health monies to support community development, seeing this as one of the primary responses to increasing pressures on the system.

I set up my non-profit to build collaboration and capacity with excluded communities and explore race trauma and trauma from other forms of discrimination impacts both those on the receiving end of discrimination and those in privilege.
I’m most proud of my work at Advocacy Support where I co-produced the bilingual advocacy service working intensively with highly excluded ethnic minorities, refugee and migrant communities including Roma and other eastern European communities. With 2.6 paid posts and community volunteers, we supported 500 – 600 individuals per year, using 14+ hard to find community languages while meeting the Advocacy Quality Mark. We were at the forefront of bilingual advocacy in the UK.
My experience includes working as the Operations Manager and later Business Development Manager for Advonet, the Leeds provider statutory and community advocacy services. Involvement in the creation of the Stop Hate UK Helpline, a national hate crime reporting service and more recently returning to develop its hate crime and EDI training offers.

Job title: Programme Analyst
Organisation: West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB)
Profile: I am an analyst working in the ICB core business intelligence team, focussing mainly on elective care recovery. I’m new to the subject area, the NHS and West Yorkshire itself, as well as being unavoidably new to working in an ICB. I have worked as a health services and commissioning analyst for the past 12 years. A common theme across many of the support pieces and research projects I have supported has been an ambition to recognise and quantify the impact that health inequity has on service access, user experience and health outcomes. As a result I’m used to broad descriptions of inequity in accessing and using health services, I’d like to develop our understanding of how that plays out practically beyond those summaries, whether that be in formulating and implementing policy or evaluating and adjusting our models of service delivery.

Mark Clipsham
Job title: Senior Debt Officer
Organisation: WDH (Wakefield & District Housing)
Profile: Hello…my name is Mark Clipsham. I’ve worked for WDH (Wakefield & District Housing) for almost eight years and have been in my current role as a Senior Debt Officer for 26 months.
My role involves managing a team of up to 20 debt officers to ensure an effective and efficient service is provided across the district in respect of the control and recovery of all debts to WDH. Providing guidance, advice, support and direction on debt management to WDH employees to maintain high standards of service delivery within the debt service and ensure that policies and procedures are delivered and that the service is accessible, fair and offers choice to all customers.
I’ve helped our service achieve its lowest ever arrears figures since our recording began whilst going through some of the most challenging times our country has faced. I’m proud of what we have achieved and of the help and support WDH offer our tenants in supporting them in sustaining their tenancies.
My career in debt recovery started at Wakefield Council in 2012, working in Council Tax. As part of the recovery team the role involved enforcement action for outstanding payments through utilisation of various recovery options and gave me a platform which has led me to where I am now.
Away from work, time with my family is important to me. Whether this is hiking up Snowden, paddleboarding or chilling watching a movie. I love my football which is mostly watching these days rather than playing and enjoy running. A significant amount of my time is also spent providing a ‘dad's taxi’ service to my two sons in their various extracurricular activities!

Diabetes has become a prevalent condition in the South Asian community. According to Diabetes UK, South Asian people are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes by the age of 25. According to Bradford Council figures, there are 34,379 people registered with diabetes with prevalence current at 8% in comparison for the district compared to England’s average of 6.4%.
Currently there are resources available in the district for pre-diabetes from Diabetes UK who has joined forces with Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership to work at developing support to fight against diabetes across the district part of a strategic alliance. But there are existing gaps in the current offer and this pilot will be used to develop interventions that will reinforce the Diabetes UK offer.
Furthermore, the priorities for the Core20 plus 5 which is a national approach in reducing health inequalities at national and system levels has a greater focus on South Asian communities and diabetes.

Nicola Worrall
Job title: Speech & Language Therapist and Clinical Team Leader
Organisation: Leeds Community Healthcare (NHS) Trust
Profile: Nicola is a highly Specialist Speech & Language Therapist with over 30 years experience working in the NHS. This has been in a variety of trusts and settings, but most recently working with adults in the community in Leeds, where she has been a lead clinician in the community Speech & Swallowing Team. The team was established in 2013 and Nicola was a key player in building this new community service, responsive to all Leeds adults with a speech and swallowing need. Nicola works city wide and has first hand experience of the inequalities that exist across the city, particularly evident in healthy life expectancy.
Nicola recently spent 18 months in Bradford, working in a newly established ProActive Care Team, part of the Raising Inequalities in Communities project. She is keen to bring her experience of this project to her home city of Leeds. Through her involvement with the fellowship, Nicola hopes to see a sensitive service that works harder to include those who may not find it easy to access a service, may find advice difficult to implement, or find self managing their symptoms overwhelming.
When she’s not working, Nicola can be found cooking, eating with friends, out and about with her three children or walking with her cocker spaniel. She enjoys reading, theatre and politics.

Rachel Carter
Job title: Senior Specialist Dietitian - Nutrition Education Lead
Organisation: Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT)
Profile: Rachel is a Registered Dietitian who has worked clinically in a number of acute trusts prior to her current role as Nutrition Education Lead at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT). She recently undertook a HEE Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) Workforce Secondment which included consideration of how to improve the diversity of the AHP workforce to better represent the community LTHT serves, recognising that this will have long term health benefits for the local population.
Ill health, contributed to by diet and physical activity, as a result of social, environmental, economic, and structural factors, is increasingly evident to Rachel through her work which causes personal unease and has sparked Rachel’s interest in health inequalities. Outside of work Rachel loves being active outdoors and is able to prioritise physical exercise alongside diet for long term health. However, the inequities of access to these determinants of health has created further impetus for getting involved in health inequalities. She believes all staff have a role to play!
Rachel is excited to have the opportunity to undertake some formal training in public health and wants to apply her learning to ensure there is more joined-up-working between care providers in tackling health inequalities. She is interested in exploring ways to improve knowledge and awareness of health inequalities for staff, and also looking at how health care professionals in an acute setting can adapt their work to ensure patients are supported to improve their long-term health outcomes.

Dr Ranil Tan
Job title: Consultant Clinical Psychologist
Organisation: Leeds and York Partnerships NHS Foundation Trust
Profile: I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist currently working for the Leeds and York Partnerships NHS Foundation Trust (LYPFT). I am based within a multiagency and multidisciplinary team that works with young people with complex emotional and interpersonal needs (EMERGE Leeds). I have worked for the NHS for 20 years, and most of my clinical experience has been within services for those who have experienced trauma and adversity. During this time, I have worked across Leeds, York, Manchester, North Staffordshire and Shropshire. I have worked within diverse communities, with people where there is a complex relationship between trauma, adversity, health inequity, and the manifestation and cultural expression of psychological distress. Within my work, I have seen first-hand the complexities of integrating traditional psychological models and understandings with the nuances of cultural understandings; as well as the systemic, contextual and political issues that perpetuate inequality. I am keen to use the fellowship to develop thinking and work within this area – this feels timely, given current NHS priorities to improve and transform community mental health services across the country.

Sara Hollins
Job title: Director of Midwifery
Organisation: Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Profile: Sara knew she wanted to be a midwife from a very early age after being inspired by the community midwife who attended the birth of her youngest sister at home in Pontefract. Very few places were offering midwifery as a direct entry option in the early 1990s, so she embarked on one of the last traditional RGN training courses at Manchester Royal Infirmary, qualifying as a nurse in November 1993.
She briefly worked as a staff nurse on the neurosurgical ward at Pinderfields before being interviewed by the same community midwife, now a lecturer, to commence her midwifery training at Airedale and Bradford in 1994. Qualifying as a midwife in 1995, Sara spent the first few years as a rotational midwife at Airedale, but a passion and interest in intrapartum care led to a long career as a labour ward co-ordinator and then labour ward manager.
After 20 years at Airedale, Sara moved to Harrogate as Head of Midwifery, spending two and half years there before moving to Bradford. Now in her seventh year at Bradford, Sara is committed to providing and developing a maternity service that meets the needs of a diverse and complex population, with a strong focus on reducing inequalities to improve outcomes for birthing people and their babies. This was recognised in 2021, when she was awarded the Chief Midwifery Officer Gold Award, for her leadership in this area.
Outside of work, Sara has three grown up children, two step-children and two dogs, and is usually found on the fells or up a hill somewhere with her husband.

Population focus: Bradford District is an ethnically diverse area, with the largest proportion of people of Pakistani ethnic origin in England. One in four people living in the District describe themselves as Asian/ Asian British ethnic origin, compared to fewer than 1 in 10 people on average for England as a whole. (Demographics of Bradford, Bradford Council, September 2022)
This is reflected in the number of women and pregnant people accessing maternity services at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which is between 50-60%.

Ute Kelly
Job title: Associate Dean for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Organisation: Faculty of Health Studies, University of Bradford
Profile: I currently have two part-time roles within the University of Bradford: I am an Associate Professor in Peace Studies and Associate Dean for Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion at the Faculty of Health Studies. My interest in this fellowship connects to both of these two areas. Initially, my awareness of trauma and trauma-informed practice in higher education developed via conversations with students in peace and conflict studies who were working through the impacts of lived experiences of childhood adversity, violence and injustice. Over time, this has made a tangible difference to my approach to teaching and learning. My role within the Faculty of Health Studies is an opportunity to think through how a trauma-informed lens might drive more systemic change within complex organisations. I am looking forward to exploring this alongside colleagues, students, and experts by experience within and beyond thefFaculty.

Victoria Lindley
Job title: Senior Occupational Therapist
Organisation: Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
Profile: I currently work in Trauma Orthopaedics as an Occupational Therapist and have done so for the past seven years.
I have worked in the NHS in various roles and trusts since qualifying in 2010, including as a support worker in a community neurological rehabilitation hospital, where I worked full time whilst studying part time for my degree. Once qualified I moved to London and worked in a large hospital trust, before returning home to Yorkshire.
In the current clinical area I work in, the main reason for admission is from falls, often resulting in fractures. This service user population is mainly older people. I am aware that there is an abundance of falls information and many statistics about the causes of falls and falls awareness. And whilst the trust has many formats accessible to service users, carers and relatives, whilst looking into this area, it became apparent to me the focus is on falls prevention within the hospital setting.
My experience tells me that when I am on the wards talking to individuals about falls, whilst most can tell me how they fell, and what we could do to reduce the risks, the main concern and focus is on recovering from surgery and in most cases most people just want to go home. Retaining information and advice becomes less of an importance, or in some cases just not possible. The current trust video about falls prevention describes how to prevent falls in the hospital and on the wards. Once a person leaves hospital how do we carry that over?
I identified a need for a falls information pack to be more comprehensive to include advice on how to achieve this once home. After all most people have fallen outside of the hospital environment which has then resulted in admission. There is currently no falls information advice that is provided in discharge packs. If this were provided in a physical format, something that a person can sit and read in their own home, it is more likely to be used and advice followed.
The pack will include advice on healthy ageing, including for example, signposting to GPs, social prescribers and community teams, as well as the importance of healthy eating, correct footwear and footcare, basic exercises for strength and balance which families can help support with as well as community therapy teams to help set individual goals.
My plan is to use a PDSA cycle to help structure my project as well as, speaking to service users on the ward to ask what they would like to be included in the discharge pack, and follow this up once the pack has been developed via telephone reviews or short questionnaires providing scope to make improvements. If successful, this could be rolled out across the trust and into community teams. Further project ideas could be an online video replicating the home environment to demonstrate this advice practically. The overall aim is to raise awareness of falls, and provide practical advice on reduction, as well as how to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle for older people, through early intervention. Through early intervention, this potentially could have positive financial implications if we can reduce the number of admissions because of falls.
As a therapist my role is to increase and maintain a person’s independence as much as possible, and by providing information that can be used once home, encourages empowerment and self-awareness of health and social care needs.
