Corrina Grimes

I have over two decades of experience in health and social care leadership, from clinican,commissioner and policy development and implementation.

Alongside my role as a National Deputy Director in NHS England, I privileged to be appointed as an Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health,a global Fellowship that empowers leaders dedicated to addressing global health inequity. Additionally, I hold the position of Visiting Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin, conducting vital research on dementia, palliative care, public health, and health inequalities.

My motivation lies in co-creating and implementing innovative, evidence-based solutions to improve the quality of life and well-being of people and communities. I have a strong track record of influencing policy development, spearheading service transformations, and driving impactful digital health initiatives across diverse sectors and settings. Noteworthy achievements include co-leading the Palliative Care in Partnership program in Northern Ireland, and lead the groundbreaking policy "For Now and For The Future – An Advance Care Planning for all Adults,"

In addition to my professional achievements, I am a dedicated communicator, educator, and mentor. I have authored numerous publications, delivered compelling presentations, and actively supported the growth and development of health professionals.
Im a strong advocacy for the global movement known as Project ECHO. I champion this lifelong learning and guided practice model that transforms health education and expands workforce capacity to provide specialised care while reducing health disparities. My commitment to Project ECHO is evident through by completion of Project ECHO Training at the University of New Mexico, USA, in 2014 and 2015. Subsequently, I led several Project ECHO networks in Northern Ireland, including the pioneering network for unpaid caregivers, demonstrating her commitment to supporting all individuals involved in caregiving.
