Tony Westbrook

Chairman

Tony leads a busy life as a Consultant hip and knee surgeon at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and Spire Nottingham Hospital, and a trauma surgeon at the Queens Medical Centre, Major Regional Trauma Unit. He has enjoyed his work in the NHS since 1994, has spent time working in Australia, and now enjoys a happy balance of time spent with family, at work and competing in sport. Throughout his time in the NHS, Tony has seen decreasing staff morale and increasing sickness. He has witnessed patients struggling to get to see the right people and get the right treatments, and a lack of drive to build on good ideas that would make a difference. Although physically “fixing” patients is more natural to Tony, he has a passion for making a difference to the services available to improve positive mental health and wellbeing. As Chairman of Enigma Wellness, he can now be more proactive, using his experience in Healthcare, his understanding of people and the corporate world, to help build a more positive community through local and national initiatives.
