Tim said: “I’m delighted to join the Workforce Projects Team at this important stage of the WTD programme. The team’s track record in helping NHS organisations find solutions to the challenges of WTD is excellent, and there is much to be done to continue the work towards compliance. I am looking forward to this new challenge.”
