Anne joined The King's Fund from the Royal College of Nursing in July 2009. Anne is an educator, manager and clinician with 30 years' experience of working in and with health and social care services. She began her career as a general nurse, moved into mental health nursing, and for the last 20 years has been working in work-based education and development, primarily in the fields of leadership, team and organisational development.

During her career Anne has worked in in-patient, community and primary care services with experience of working in the NHS, local authority, higher education and third sector services.
