Gillian has more than two decades’ experience in PR and communications.  A solid grounding gained in-house at major blue-chip companies, including nine years at Standard Life Healthcare and six years at financial services organisations GE Capital and Lloyds TSB, has equipped Gillian with expertise in a range of areas such as media management, integrated communication programmes and high level public affairs.

Six years ago, she founded Wychwood Communications and during this period Gillian has continued to build on her healthcare background with assignments ranging from patient and practitioner engagement programmes for West Kent PCT and BUPA Health Dialog to implementing PR and communication programmes for healthcare and medical technology start-ups in Oxfordshire.

Immediately prior to becoming a consultant, Gillian worked for Standard Life Healthcare, where she had responsibility for the Press Office and Public Affairs.

During this period Gillian worked with the DoH and other key figures in healthcare to develop public healthcare programmes and with the Treasury to explore healthcare funding programmes.

More recently, she has been working on clinical and patient engagement programmes within the Public sector, and providing consultation on a social and health welfare funding initiative.

Gillian is also an experienced media and communications mentor and she provides media programmes that are run in association with practising print and broadcast journalists.
