Jo Maybin

Jo joined The King's Fund in 2006. Her current work focuses on questions of governance in the health service, and on staff and patient experiences of care. In 2010 she co-edited a major review of NHS performance under the last Labour government and in 2011 led an analysis of the impact of the Health and Social Care Bill on accountability in the NHS. In 2012 Jo co-authored a discussion paper with Professor Rudolf Klein exploring the role of rationing in the contemporary NHS.

Jo recently completed a part-time PhD at the University of Edinburgh, where she was awarded a Sir Bernard Crick Fellowship in Politics. Her doctoral research explored how policymakers in England’s Department of Health use knowledge in their work. She also has a degree in social and political sciences from Cambridge, and an MSc in political theory from the LSE.

Jo has previously worked as a social affairs analyst in BBC News, and as a research assistant at Cambridge University.
