‘The knowledge that all health is real and lived – whether good or bad – makes it a real honour to do what we do, and to learn from so many inspirational people.’

With expertise in developing strategic, multi-agency partnerships for health, Ed has a wealth of experience in facilitating the engagement of societal leaders in health policy by providing credible and accessible information on health issues.
