Debbie Stinson has worked as a Consultant Old Age Psychiatrist in the London Borough of Sutton for 30 years. She joined the Board of Staywell in October 2013 and was elected Chair from 2014 until 2021. She completed an MBA, sponsored by the NHS, and in the past held various clinical management posts within South West London and St George’s Mental Health Trust and more recently, a Clinical Lead post in Sutton Place within the South West London integrated care board.

Debbie believes that the organisation’s aim to support local people to live better, longer lives is aligned completely with the current drive to have integrated neighbourhood services which focus on prevention. Her comment at the time of her appointment to the Board is as applicable as ever:

‘There are great opportunities for a forward-thinking organisation like Staywell to really progress and expand what it does. The commitment of the staff and leaders of the organisation is truly inspiring.’
