Helen is a clinical scientist, with over two decades of experience in health technology evaluation, addressing regulatory, procurement, commissioning, and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) perspectives. She has co-authored several longitudinal research studies on interventional procedures using routinely collected and linked registry data. Helen represents the NHSA on various executive committees and steering boards for Health Data Research (HDR) UK North, two EPSRC-funded Digital Health Hubs, an NIHR-funded HealthTech Research Centre, and regularly engages with the three NHS Secure Data Environments (SDEs) across the North of England. Through the NHSA, a pan-northern group of academic, clinical and system leaders authored Mobilising UK Data and AI for All with a National Grid of Civic Learning Systems (Buchan I (Editor) et al. 2025). The report sets out an opportunity for the UK to develop a world-leading infrastructure for data-driven public service innovation that feeds, and is fed by, science and engineering at national and civic scales, sustainably and with public trust. Helen will represent the findings and recommendations of this group, on the panel.
