Sally developed an interest in medical design at the Royal College of Art, whilst working on her award winning graduation project on incubators. She now works at the Helen Hamlyn Centre where her portfolio includes product, service and communication design as well as the development of design strategy in the health sector. She was part of the team that redesigned the resuscitation trolley, which went on to receive two prestigious Medical Futures Innovation Awards. She has since worked with the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) to produce industry wide guidelines on the design of injectable medicines, and is currently improving the design of infusion devices.
