Ceredigion NHS Trust is an acute, community services NHS Trust serving the population of Ceredigion in Mid Wales.

Allison has strengthened clinical management at the Trust by developing a strategy that suits the needs of the local population while encouraging clinical leadership among staff within the organisation. The changes she has made take into consideration the provision of rural health care and has included new approaches to patient care. Allison empowers and includes clinicians and as a result the Trust recruits and retains high calibre staff that are committed to patients in their care. Allison is described by colleagues as a role model for female leaders in public services in Wales having delivered a modernisation agenda whilst also successfully coping with the demands of her young family.
