The Fearless Optimist was established based on a passion for innovation and an ambition to make sustainable, positive changes to health outcomes for future generations.
With experience of the NHS, Academic Health Science Networks and private healthcare, we recognise the challenges and opportunities in improving the current systems, policies, research, information and education to better support health needs with a particular focus on women's health.
Our team of seasoned associates brings a unique blend of expertise, passion, and optimism to every project we undertake.
At the Fearless Optimist, we specialise in helping businesses harness their untapped potential, overcome challenges, and reach new heights.
Our approach isn't a one size fits all and we understand that every journey is unique. That's why we customise our services to meet your specific needs and goals using our experience to tap into a variety of different professional networks, connections, innovations and knowledge to provide practical and pragmatic approaches to initiate and implement positive change.
We are passionate about personal, professional and organisational growth and we will be your biggest advocates.
Providing valuable information, analysis and recommendations that help organisations make informed decisions about their long-term goals and direction. These insights are often based on scoping activities, data, market research and a deep understanding of the health sector. They assist in identifying opportunities, mitigating risks and optimising strategies to achieve competitive advantages and desired outcomes.
As a member of the British Healthcare Business Intelligence Association (BHBIA) we have an appreciation of the legal and ethical compliance requirements.
Building connections and support through facilitating and nurturing relationships, both within and outside an organisation. This offering aims to connect individuals and entities with relevant stakeholders, partners or resources that help them achieve their goals.

It involves the process of defining clear goals, allocating resources, setting timelines and ensuring that all components work cohesively toward the intended outcomes. We offer effective programme management to streamline processes, improve efficiency and ensure alignment with strategic goals.
Our passion and experience is in developing creative and forward-thinking projects or endeavors that drive change, foster growth and push the boundaries of traditional practices across health care. These initiatives are often characterised by novel ideas, technologies or approaches that address existing challenges or capitialise on emerging opportunities. Implementation of innovative initiatives can lead to increased competitiveness, enhanced product/service offerings, improved organisational agility and health outcomes for people.
I describe myself as a 'specialist generalist' with a passion for joining the dots through collaboration, knowledge sharing, education and innovative projects that bring about sustainable change.
I've never been one to follow a traditional career path but I do love to learn and I think that's why I find the area of innovation and health so fascinating as it is constantly evolving.
The Fearless Optimist came about as I wanted to diversify the work that I did and how I went about it.
More importantly I am a friend, daughter, wife and mom who enjoys long walks, yoga, rounders, card games and a good book.
