Leaving the NHS in 2011, he then moved into the private sector and into clinical leadership roles within a variety of Brain Injury Rehabilitation services. He subsequently re-joined the NHS in 2013.

Dr Griffiths has supported the development of national clinical guidance (e.g. NICE LBP guidance, 2009), and has a long track record of working closely with commissioners (and, more recently, emerging STP frameworks) in seeking to develop services to improve delivery of integrated care. He is currently involved in supporting regional change in the management of medically unexplained symptoms in Cheshire & Merseyside, as well as contributing to the National Stroke Plan as a clinical advisor.

Dr Griffiths currently works at Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, leading the Department of Clinical Health Psychology, which delivers specialist clinical psychology services across multiple medical areas within the Trust, as well as providing several community-based services. Clinical services led and delivered including an A&E Medical Psychology Service (which aims to reduced re-attendance rates of medical frequent attenders, presenting for care of medically unexplained complaints). Clinical innovation work in the management of medically unexplained symptoms having become an increasing focus of Dr Griffiths work over recent years (following many years of working with the phenomena across his clinical practice).

Roberta Fuller 

Deputy Chief Operating Officer 
Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Roberta Fuller has over 27 years’ experience as a senior healthcare manager in both the NHS and the private sector, and is currently the Deputy Chief Operating Officer at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. Passionate about providing the best possible experience for patients, Roberta’s expertise is predominantly in the acute sector, but has also included time helping to regenerate local communities.

The development of the “District Direct” support service in Norwich happened as a result of being curious about how the NHS and District Councils could collaborate to reduce inpatient length of stay and improve long term health and well-being. When we become a hospital patient we do not stop being a citizen and should be treated accordingly. Roberta is excited to share her experience of designing and implementing a truly patient-focused service which bridges the divides between Health and Local Government.

With 35 years’ experience, we’re best positioned to support you in reducing hospital admissions and retaining the best quality care for your clients.
