Name : Tina Nolan Job Title : Managing Director , Director of Healthcare Strategy & Planning Company : ETL

A UK based healthcare legend , Tina Nolan is the managing director of ETL , a leading consultancy in the health and life science sectors uniquely owned by , and its profits returning to , the NHS . Born and educated in Dublin , Tina trained as an architect and after coming to England in the 1990s , moved into consultancy where she helped to invent healthcare planning , now recognised as a discipline with its own Academy ( of which Tina is a founding member ).

In 2013 Tina was the first key hire for ETL with a remit to build the consultancy . With a team today of over 100 Tina regards her mission as only “ partly ” accomplished .

Tina believes that , after the COVID-19 pandemic , there will be a rise in the number of students enrolling in healthcare studies , similar to what she herself experienced in 1990 .

“ It ' s part of what ETL is about ,” she says . “ At ETL , we do healthcare and life sciences . I think COVID-19 has been a revelation to us , in how they are intrinsically linked together . Scientists and clinicians need to work much more closely together , so you can translate discovery and life sciences very quickly into cures , for a healthy population . I think what we have learned during COVID-19 is that there ' s a real need for high-quality hospital infrastructure .
