Sara is Deloitte’s Global health sector Leader and also leads the health practice in the UK. This encapsulates the firm’s work with the payor and provider systems both publicly and privately funded. Sara’s passion for health began when she moved to the UK in 2003 and was first exposed to the NHS.
Sara believes passionately in the mission of the NHS and sees the incredible value that a health service free at the point of need provides to society. With her teams, she supports the NHS to do more and better with the resources at its disposal. Some of Sara’s work includes supporting the government on its Coronavirus testing programme, and the introduction of GenAI and automation to improve the speed and quality of NHS services and to release more time for direct patient care. It is the introduction and uptake of new innovative practices either pioneered by individuals or tested first in other health systems around the world that Sara most enjoys working with her NHS clients on.
In her Global role, Sara brings health systems together. Most countries are working on the same big challenges: digitization, cost control, quality, virtual care, and patient empowerment. Working with teams around the world, Sara and the Deloitte healthcare practice brings solutions to these challenges to our healthcare clients. Programmes are delivered in consortium with large and small technology and software players to provide complete solutions to clients.
Sara is a trustee of the Peter Sowerby Foundation which supports healthcare causes and she is a trustee of Helpforce which supports volunteering in the NHS.
