Janet Smith

Prior to joining the NHS in 2003, Janet spent fifteen years managing United Nations funded health and other development projects in both urban and rural communities in the Philippines. Her expertise in community and sustainable development led to consultancies with international organisations including the World Bank’s Economic Development Institute and the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA)

Throughout the twelve years with the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, she worked closely with clinicians, service users, a variety of other health professionals and external advisors in successfully implementing a range of Trust-wide schemes including capital schemes,  Sustainable Travel Initiatives; furniture reuse and recycling scheme; and was one of the key persons who implemented the 2010 Carbon Management Plan (CMP) which resulted in the Trust achieving 14% reduction in its carbon footprint by April 2015. 

Janet wrote the Trust Green and Climate Change Impact Adaptation Plan and is responsible for managing and facilitating its implementation.  Under her leadership, the Trust has realised a 9% reduction of its carbon footprint from 2020‐21 baseline.
