TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Spotlight SPOTLIGHT ON
ANYA SHAH Senior consultant, Turner & Townsend, Head of Growth for the NextGen Healthcare Network
A
nya grew up in South Africa, a country shaped by both extraordinary diversity and deep socioeconomic inequality. From an early age, she witnessed firsthand how dramatically access
to healthcare could differ between communities. These experiences not only shaped her worldview but also sparked a longstanding commitment to health equity – an influence that continues to guide her professional path. This early awareness led Anya to pursue a career in healthcare advisory. In her role, she focuses on helping organisations design
services that are effective, sustainable, and accessible to the communities they serve. She is particularly driven by the belief that good healthcare should never depend on where someone is born or the circumstances in which they grow up. Alongside her consulting work, Anya volunteers as a mentor, supporting students from less advantaged backgrounds as they transition from school to university. She offers guidance, encouragement, and opportunities to build networks, helping young people develop confidence and gain insight into the industries they hope to explore.

Anya is also the Head of growth for the NextGen Healthcare Network, where she supports earlycareer professionals to connect, learn, and grow within the sector. She was recently invited to join the Board of Your Voice in Health and Social Care (YVHSC) – an organisation that champions patient and community voices through engagement services, ensuring that lived experience is central to how health and social care is delivered. Anya remains committed to contributing to a future where healthcare systems not only function well, but genuinely work for everyone.
