Our team

Our central Institute team helps coordinate and support activity across our partnership, working closely with colleagues in our partner organisations to drive delivery of our Institute's vision and mission.

Dr Ingrid Wolfe, Director

Ingrid oversees the delivery of the Institute’s vision and strategic plan to ensure we continue to improve outcomes locally, nationally and globally for women and children.

Ingrid is a qualified paediatrician and public health consultant. This makes Ingrid a children’s doctor in a very broad sense, as she has on-the-ground insight from clinical practice and a population perspective. These aspects come together in her academic work, which focuses on children’s health services, systems, and policy in the UK and European countries.

Ingrid is a member of the Children's Health Systems and Policy Research Group. The group is part of our Institute and King's College London's School of Life Course Sciences, Department of Women’s and Children’s Health. 

Ingrid is also Director of the Children and Young People’s Health Partnership in Lambeth and Southwark, where she has led the development and evaluation of a new model of children’s health care. She is a consultant in child public health at Evelina London Children’s Hospital and clinical senior lecturer in child public health at King's College London. Ingrid is co-chair of the British Association for Child and Adolescent Public Health, and was awarded an OBE for services to children’s health in 2016.
