About me
Elaine is a Health Foundation Leadership Fellow and County Director for Pembrokeshire, Hywel Dda University Health Board.
At the time of her fellowship, Elaine was Head of Practice Based Commissioning for NHS Swindon, Swindon PCT.
Elaine gained a postgraduate diploma in healthcare management in 2005 and had been in her job as Head of Practice Based Commissioning since 2009.
Her previous job as Practice Manager was at a practice of six GP partners and 14 staff serving 10,000 patients. Under Elaine’s management, patients benefited from a more flexible appointments booking and the surgery was among the first to adopt the Choose and Book system used to refer patients to a specialist.
She also initiated an informal information sharing and support group for practice managers in Swindon and set up a weight loss clinic between the surgery and pharmacy.
