I am the Professor and Director of the Health Systems Innovation Lab providing organisational and leadership development. I lead the national Universal Healthcare Network; and a number of Primary Care Development initiatives including a collaboration with Modality and RCGP to support Primary Care Leaders; and the Primary Care Networks Academy. My experience is an unusual combination of leader, manager, researcher, change agent and entrepreneur.I have made sustained and demonstrable impact through her work on the quality of health services with global reach. I am an Independent Non-Executive Member at West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board.

During the pandemic I published evidence of innovation in the NHS during the pandemic which has had global reach. I have established the first UK place-based MA Strategic Clinical Leadership programme using the Apprentice Levy (Senior Leader). I am currently leading a coproduction programme on Long Covid, Safe Waiting and Virtual Access, bringing citizens as partners into the design and delivery of new models of care.

In terms of advisory roles I am currently an advisor the Bromley By Bow Social Prescribing programme, an external examiner at the Imperial NHS Digital Academy. I was recently been an advisor to the RSA Future of Health and Care, a board member for the Health Foundation Evaluation of the Q programme, the European Cancer Concord, and the Advisory Board of The Bromley By Bow Unleashing Health Communities Programme. I am also a nominator for the Ashoka network and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

Previously I have been an advisor to the Cabinet Office on the Choice Agenda, a Board Member of the European Health Management Association, an Advisor to the NHSIQ Network Leaders Programme, and a critical friend of the New Economics Foundation Coproduction Network, and the NESTA health programme. During my career I have worked across health and local government supporting place-based collaboratives, and have been a Visiting Fellow at Stellenbosch University School of Public Leadership (South Africa) where she supported the Innovation Hub.

My book on networks has international reach Malby B, Anderson Wallace M. (2016) Networks in Healthcare. Managing Complex Relationships. Emerald.
