Toby Lewis

Toby has left The King's Fund.

Toby undertook research and policy analysis at The King’s Fund, focused on health inequalities and poverty. He contributed to The King’s Fund’s work on integrated care and health system reform, and has a particular interest in how the NHS can contribute to local regeneration and to changing disparities of outcome.

He has held director roles across University College London Hospital, Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, Bart’s Health NHS Trust, and was Chief Executive of Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals until 2021. He worked in the Prime Minister’s Delivery Unit from 2003–5, graduated from the Fund’s Top Manager programme in 2004, and holds degrees from the University of Oxford and the University of London.
