Lyndsay Bunting

I have a strong passion for putting patients at the centre of everything we do perhaps due to my clinical roots and enhanced through my lived experience of being a mum to a child who has complex medical needs.

I bring this passion and a wealth of leadership expertise to my current role as Head of Talent for the Midlands. I have considerable experience in change management, service improvement, talent management and deployment, as well as system collaboration and partnership. I have skills in strategic education design and delivery as well as an enthusiasm for embedding inclusion and lived experience into my practice to enable a positive cultural shift.

I have held several senior executive level roles with notable achievements in the creation of membership and engagement models, high profile talent management initiatives, design and delivery of internationally recognised and award-winning leadership development programmes and the development of several strategic models.

I am keen to ensure that development activity demonstrates value for money, and I played a key role as the primary author and academic advisor on the creation of a development evaluation framework which subsequently facilitated my research on the effectiveness of leadership development throughout the NHS – the first of its kind, which has led to ground-breaking insights on the design of impactful development.
