In 2015, Bob set up a team who continue to drive an ambitious project to create a culture of continuous quality improvement across Imperial, and is now leading work on the development and implementation of the Trust’s new organisational strategy.

Bob is also a strong advocate for child health, and co-leads the Connecting Care for Children (CC4C) integrated child health programme in North West London, which is focused on developing whole population integrated care models of service and training within paediatrics and child health.
