Public affairs specialist consultancy Westminster Advisers has appointed Jenny Ousbey as its new head of health and a director.

Ousbey will take up the role in May this year, joining from Lexington Communications where she has served as an associate director since May 2014.

Prior to this, Ousbey was the senior public affairs manager at the NHS Confederation, leading the public affairs team and developing tailored strategies for the Confederation, NHS Employers and its networks.

Dominic Church, Westminster Advisers' managing director, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be welcoming Jenny to the Westminster Advisers team.

“The health practice is going from strength to strength. We fully expect this to continue as a result of Jenny's strategic insights into the health sector, as well as her strong track record in business development.”
