Testimonials
Alison Hall – ex Acting Director and Deputy Director of HR and OD at Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Trust
We worked together at Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust
Sheila brought fresh, innovative, thinking to my team at GSTT, working with staff in Recruitment to significantly reduce our time to hire which contributed to us winning the NHS Streamlining London Award in that area in 2016. She also delivered a number of corporate transformation projects, including an in-depth review of equality and diversity issues across the Trust. Her review highlighted areas which required action, proposed interventions to address these, and used data to shatter incorrect assumptions on the part of senior managers enabling them to focus their limited resources on key areas.

We worked together at Defra
Sheila was my Interim Deputy Director in Defra HR and I learnt a huge amount from working to her. She led the design and transformation of Defra’s HR function, creating a quality service proposition that really delivered results. Sheila brought fresh, credible perspectives into the business and provided a real focus and energy to drive projects forward. She is credible working with stakeholders, including at the most senior and sophisticated levels, but is also great to work for and really champions the development of her team.
Catherine Wilkins – Senior Nursing Workforce Productivity Advisor at NHS Improvement
We worked together at Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust
Working with Sheila helped me see the power of data in really understanding what is happening with the people in my organisation and enabled me to take decisions which made a real difference. Using data helped us triple our B5 nursing job offer rate in the course of just 6 months. I now try to integrate data driven decision making into all my work and that of my team.
