Fanny Burrows

Fanny is a Senior Lead in the Greener NHS National Programme at NHS England, leading on research & innovation and supporting the greener digital function. Her main responsibility is to ensure net zero is integrated in all research & innovation activities and engaging with research and innovation partners to advance the net zero agenda.

Some key areas of focus are to stimulate a new market of greener innovations, create and strengthen research collaborations across industry, academia and the NHS and establishing mechanism by which research and innovation can address the gaps and needs to achieve the NHS net zero targets.

In parallel, Fanny is currently supporting a trust in the South East region as Interim Head of Sustainability across all priority areas of the Greener NHS programme.

Before NHS England, she spent some years working on some government-funded research and innovation programmes, and particularly leading on the delivery and strategic development of the Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) Healthcare programme, including net zero specific initiatives.

Prior to working in the public sector, Fanny spent over 10 years working in the Medtech Industry in Research & Development, developing and translating medical technologies globally.
