Who we are? 

​

Dr Emma Russell is the founder and director of agilab and is a registered and chartered Occupational Psychologist and Reader at the University of Sussex. 

​

The NHS team is led by Sam Owen, Assistant Director, Workforce Solutions at the NHS Alliance, who has been at the forefront of driving engagement with agiLab research and conferences. We work closely with colleagues from the NHS Social Partnership Forum, NHS Leadership Academy and NHS HR Directors (and Deputy Directors) networks, along with other groups and Trusts across the NHS. We are also indebted to Liz Gambrell, who helped set up the collaboration in her previous role as Deputy Director of Engagement for NHS Employers. 

​

Emma and Sam are supported by academics, doctoral scholars and practitioners across academia and the NHS, most notably Deepali D’mello, Marc Fullman, Jay McCloskey and Jenny Hawkins [NHS].
