Angela’s career has encompassed the true breadth and diversity of public health including front line health service delivery (through her 13 years as a nurse and health visitor), work in communities around sustainable development planning, and academic environmental sciences. Amongst her many roles she has been an environmental consultant, Director of the Women’s Environmental Network, Sustainable City Manager in Bristol City Council and Sustainability Manager for the Isle of Wight.

In 2003 Angela became the Chief Executive of UKPHA, a role which has enabled her to champion the vision that public health is about the environment and society in which we live. During her time at the UKPHA, Angela has made it possible for the organisation to develop radically from the grassroots, continuously encouraging member consultation and involvement in all areas of work. This has included the development of the Special Interest Groups, the Greater Manchester Fuel Poverty Initiative and the development and coordination of the Climate Connection project to address the impacts on human health of climate change and environmental degradation through the public health workforce.
