Holly is currently involved in the implementation of a new electronic health record system at the Trust, and has led a COVID vaccination clinic for particularly vulnerable patients living with HIV who faced barriers to immunisation.

Reason for applying for the scheme
Holly is a firm believer in maximising health by using an inclusive, multi-organisational and multi-professional partnership approach, to drive outcomes forwards at both a societal and individual level. The FMLM programme provides the opportunity to gain a unique insight into the role of key NHS partners, and Holly is hoping to gain a better understanding of the roles that different organisations contribute, whilst also gaining an overview of regulation, policy and legislation development. Holly is delighted to be joining the FMLM programme, and hopes that the singular educational experience that this will provide will enable her to grow her leadership style under expert mentorship, whilst developing the management tools that will enable her to better serve patients at a wider level as she creates meaningful and impactful change.
