Vanshika Agarwal — Partnerships Manager
I am a Community Development Officer within the NHS with a background in dentistry and experience in public health research across institutions such as LSHTM and the University of Birmingham. My career spans clinical practice, research, and community engagement, giving me a well-rounded understanding of how health services, evidence, and community needs connect. I have worked on projects in maternal and child health, women’s health, infectious diseases, and nutrition, developing strong skills in communication, participant recruitment, data handling, and translating research into practical insights. In my current role, I focus on strengthening relationships with diverse communities, improving awareness and access to services, and supporting initiatives that address health inequalities. I bring a combination of clinical insight, cultural competence, and a patient-centred approach, alongside a genuine commitment to ensuring that community voices guide the design and delivery of local health services. I am motivated by work that bridges gaps, builds trust, and contributes to a more equitable and responsive health system.
