Seconded to NHS Plus, Andrew will continue in his other role, leading the occupational health team at NHS Plus at York Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

On the back of this development, the team is experiencing unprecedented growth and continues to expand.

Andrew's new role at NHS Plus will focus on supporting the commercial development of the NHS Plus network across England. He aims to bring together the excellent work already underway amongst the network, including developing a range of marketing tools and materials.
