Estelle Greenwood

Project manager

Estelle’s early years were in Admin Management, Management Consultancy and Events Management supporting blue chip companies with training and development and reward and recognition. Having worked in Las Vegas and in the UK at national hunt race courses, hosting hospitality events such as Cheltenham, Aintree, Ascot, Haydock park, York Ebor etc this where her excellence for communication, detail and project management started.

After 15 years, Estelle went on to work for a Diamond and Mineral Exploration Company setting up all admin management, systems and processes, communicating with Government officials in Liberia and supporting the company until placing it onto the stock market in 2008. Estelle then joined the NHS in October 2008 as Executive Assistant to the Chair and Chief Executive of Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust and gained extensive experience of being in a hospital environment. This is where Paul and Estelle first met and started working together.

After winning a bid from the Kings Fund in 2013, Estelle’s strengths and passion then led her into creating Dementia Friendly Environments to help support the patients and their families. Her knowledge of patient experience and working closely alongside the Trust Board Team, helped develop a bespoke design for the Trust and integrated this across 26 wards at City, Sandwell and Rowley Regis Hospital. Estelle is committed to refining the way vulnerable adults are cared for and making their stay in hospitals and community facilities as stress free as possible.
