Mel Smith
Director
My current role as Network and Relationship Manager for a health and wellbeing service is to develop and maintain strategic partnerships across Devon, to develop pathways into the service and to manage the engagement strategy and team. The overall aim of the service is to improve the health and wellbeing of the population of Devon and to reduce inequalities in health.
Much of my career to date has been driven by my passion for challenging inequalities. I have significant experience in the field of anti-racism, supporting survivors of racial abuse with case work and advocacy services and of working with black and minority ethnic communities.
I also worked in the NHS managing the community development team to facilitate health projects with communities affected by health inequalities and on the Delivering Racial Equality in mental health services programme.
