Sunita Sturup-Toft

About: I'm a public health specialist and a chartered health psychologist with 15 years of experience in working in public health and over 10 years of working specifically in health and justice. I am currently leading the work of Public Health England's UK Collaborating Centre to the WHO Health in Prisons Programme, including the development of this website! I also provide public health expertise to the WHO in developing an international public health dataset for prison healthcare; have run conferences with the WHO on prison health in Ireland, Kyrgyzstan, Denmark; and advised countries around the world on the governance of prison healthcare including most recently China, Brazil, Sweden, and the British Overseas Territories. I have held roles in service delivery and management as well as commissioning healthcare services for prisons and those in contact with the criminal justice system.
