Simon Dixon started as Head of Digital Strategy at Public Health England in April 2017. Before joining PHE, he led on national digital and service design projects at NHS England, including redevelopments of NHS Choices, the NHS.UK alpha digital transformation project and the development of the NHS app assessment process. He started his career as a support assistant in a mental health team before they discovered he could draw pretty pictures and make websites. Since then he has worked his way up from local organisations to national bodies and has always focused on making things better for people; not just digital.
