Tom Caligan Saisi

I'm a Environmental Health and safety manager with a background in Clinical medicine and over ten years' experience working in healthcare. I also have a NEBOSH International General Certificate. Over the years, I've taken on leadership roles where I've been responsible for running facilities, setting up new sites, and making sure operations meet both health and safety standards.

My work has not been limited to clinical care. I've been involved in improving how facilities operate by looking at safety, risk, compliance, and how to create a better working environment for staff while maintaining quality care for patients. This has included infection prevention and control, medical waste management, and ensuring facilities meet public health and environmental requirements.

I'm particularly interested in roles where I can combine my experience in healthcare, safety and operations to support well-run, compliant, and sustainable systems.
