Public health, strategy & small systems

Ross Keat

Ross is a Consultant in Public Health and senior public-sector leader. A dentist by background, his career spans public health, healthcare commissioning, health protection, service improvement and system leadership.

He has worked across national, regional and small-system contexts, translating evidence and complexity into proportionate decisions that can be delivered. His work is grounded in the belief that smaller systems need advice designed around their own relationships, capacity and responsibilities.
