Lisa Phillips McLennan
Lisa is a health researcher who has been practising in the Health and Education sectors for over 15 years. As a registered addiction practitioner, she began her career working alongside clients experiencing advanced dementia in secure hospital settings. This sparked an interest in the relationship between substance use and cognitive changes, which led her to serve as the Clinical Team Lead at a residential rehabilitation service, working with people experiencing substance-related harm. Her experience includes speaking internationally on the impact of trauma on Rangatahi (younger generations) as well as leading clinical and educational teams both nationally and regionally. With a special interest in ensuring the client always remains at the centre of practice, she advocates for the prioritisation of tāngata whai ora (people seeking health) to be designers in any healthcare solution that is supposed to be ‘for’ them. In her previous role as Regional Health Advisor at the Ministry of Social Development, she began her PhD in Public Health, specialising in the relationship between mental wellness and neurological differences. Lisa previously worked with health and education researchers at Victoria University to undertake strategic development work, taking their research findings to the market (tech transfer). She is currently the Kaitaki Waka at Alphero. She brings her history in clinical leadership, workforce development, and service design to her role.
