Julie is CEO and co-founder at S3 Global Healthcare, a key opinion leader in her field, with an international portfolio of work, including as a senior technical expert with the World Health Organisation, NGOs and countries across the world. Her areas of focus include the development, implementation and evaluation of guidelines and implementation-related resources in the field of patient safety, quality, AMR, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and infection prevention and control, most recently as subject matter expert on the development of an innovative serious game with the WHO Academy. She was previously President of the Infection Prevention Society of the UK and Ireland, Assistant Director at the English National Patient Safety Agency and Director of the award-winning national Clean Your Hands campaign. Julie is an honorary advisor at Global Health Partnerships and a steering group member of Health Information for All (HIFA). She is also a trained clinical hypnotherapist. She has published widely in the peer-reviewed literature, and her most recent book focuses on the social rather than the technical aspects of preventing infections in healthcare. On the latter point, Julie is a champion of person-centred and compassionate application of IPC and the importance of effective leadership in making this a reality.
