Client Testimonials
“In the 1980’s we had personnel. Then along came Pat Oakley to North West Thames Regional Health Authority… and taught us all about workforce. At that time many units did not even know how many staff they employed. Pat brought us new ways of thinking, skill mix, unit labour costs, and of course workforce planning.”
Deborah O’Dea
Past HPMA President
“I have been present on many occasions over the years where Pat has captivated Board level, clinical leaders and HR practitioner audiences with her out of the box thinking around people matters.”
David Holmes
Director of HR, Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Trust HPMA President
