2020
As a member of The IET’s healthcare sector panel, I suggested a piece of work to consider health across the built environment. Due to COVID restrictions, my initial thought of having a roundtable discussion was no longer possible. Instead, I developed a 6 part series. Across the 6 events, we had engagement from over 4.5k people across the world. I moderated each of the events.
