Speakers and Facilitators

At Sciana: The Health Leaders Network, we collaborate with guest speakers and facilitators to help Sciana Fellows remain equipped for future challenges in health and wellbeing.

Speakers are sometimes invited at the Fellows' request or recommendation. We’ve also welcomed insights from those whose experience and subject area align with a cohort's Sciana Challenge.

What we’ve heard from past speakers is that the opportunity to connect with health leaders from the UK, Switzerland, and Germany has been just as insightful for them as it has for our Fellows.

We’ve had the pleasure of hosting multiple guest speakers—in person and online—since the Sciana Network’s inception in 2017.

On several occasions, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming back Sciana Fellows to share their insights. Some speakers, meanwhile, have returned to work with the Network on multiple occasions.

We have listed these speakers and facilitators below by the year they attended and in alphabetical order. We have also included each speaker’s position and organisation at the time of their attendance.

If you're interested in appearing as a guest speaker at a future meeting and believe you can contribute to Sciana Network’s mission, or a cohort's Sciana Challenge please email Mary Helen Pombo.
