Beccy Burgos, AHP Division Lead PSEH and Programme Director P3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust 

For Beccy Burgos, great healthcare isn’t just about treating illness. It’s about designing systems that reflect real lives, and building the kind of joined-up, community-rooted care that helps people stay well in the first place. 

Beccy works across two complementary roles that together span the full breadth of the 10 Year Health Plan’s ambition. As Divisional AHP Lead for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare, she champions the vital contribution of Allied Health Professionals in supporting recovery, independence and community living. She works to ensure AHPs are embedded at the heart of care pathways — helping to prevent unnecessary admissions, support effective discharge, and enable rehabilitation closer to home. 

As Programme Director for the Portsmouth Provider Partnership, she brings organisations together to design and deliver more joined-up care at neighbourhood level — testing new approaches, building partnerships, and scaling what works for local communities. 

The results are tangible and innovative. Health kiosks in GP practices are giving people easier access to information and support. Physical activity is being integrated into mental health care. Community connectors are helping people navigate services and sustain their recovery. Each initiative reflects the same conviction: that the best time to support someone is before a crisis develops. 

“Working in the NHS means being part of something bigger,” Beccy says. “It’s about improving people’s lives in the places and communities they call home — connecting services, looking beyond conditions, and designing care that reflects real lives, with prevention and opportunity at its heart.” 

Beccy’s work is a powerful example of the shift from sickness to prevention and hospital to community in action — building a health system that works with people, not just for them. 

This comes in at around 280 words. A note on the photograph request: I’m not able to source or retrieve images, so please do chase Beccy’s team directly for both portrait and landscape high-resolution shots in a suitable clinical setting. It’s worth confirming early as these can take time to arrange.
