Tammy Davies

Tammy Davies is the Deputy Chief Nurse at Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust (BWC). With over 25 years of NHS experience, Tammy has held senior nursing and operational roles across acute, community, primary care, specialist paediatrics, and mental health sectors.

Tammy is a passionate advocate for reducing health inequalities, particularly in end-of-life care. In 2016, she led the development of a lead provider partnership model in Sandwell, rated Outstanding by the CQC, which empowered more people to make informed choices and receive compassionate support at the end of life. More recently, in 2022, she spearheaded a place-based partnership integrating care across local authority, public health, GPs, and the voluntary sector—delivering a neighbourhood model that supports a meaningful shift of care closer to home.

At BWC she has a fundamental role in delivering the Trust strategy to reduce inequalities, particularly focussed on pre-conception and early years development

Having worked in some of the most deprived areas in the UK, Tammy has seen first-hand how the conditions into which people are born shape their health and life chances. She believes that tackling inequalities requires moving beyond paternalistic models of care and truly understanding communities, individuals, and their lived experiences. Her work focuses on holistic, person-centred approaches that address not just diagnosis, but the broader determinants of health.

Tammy brings deep insight, strategic leadership, and a commitment to equity that inspires change across systems.
