Great ideas and sensible advice can get lost if they are not presented in the right way, and are reaching the right people. “This is where marketing concepts and practices can help. Shaping services to meet people’s needs and aspirations is core to both healthcare and marketing professions. Bringing the two together can have a positive impact on everyone’s experience, and it is a privilege to work with colleagues and clients who deliver this in a dynamic and exciting field.” A little bit about Rob: Yorkshire born Rob combines a love of rugby, cricket and golf with an active interest in real ale and TV detective shows.
