Trish believes in the power of collaborative approaches and drawing the strengths out of a team. She pioneered innovative approaches within the NHS, breaking down system boundaries and connecting others through a strong ethos of relational working. She introduced the concept of lifestyle medicine across her local NHS system and continues to support them as a volunteer.

Initially trained as a maths teacher, her focus is always on how best we support an individual to first identify and then strive to reach their own goals. She believes healthcare neither starts nor stops at the threshold of interventions and loves the interplay of the pillars of lifestyle medicine; how they relate for each of us and can cross from preventative self-care to guided treatment and beyond. She has a keen eye for the barriers we all experience when accessing support and an eagerness to work alongside people to coproduce brave, creative ways to soften these challenges.

Trish’s happy place is an out-the-box blue-sky-thinking session, so you’ll often find her taking that very literally on the Gillvray Health roof terrace, accompanied by a stack of colourful postit notes.
