Blogs & conversations Pioneering Wellness in the UK
My Churchill Fellowship in 1987 took me to the USA, where I explored the growing field of exercise and health science, learning from pioneers like Kenneth Cooper. Inspired by what I saw, I introduced the UK’s first Wellness programme at Bristol University and helped launch a master’s in Exercise and Health Science. I’m proud to have played a part in the development of Wellness in the UK, and my work continues with the Foundation for Leadership through Sport, bringing leadership development to sport, business, and beyond.
