About Alice
Alice West is a political and media consultant at Bridgehead Communications, where she works with clients across health and social care, corporate and education. Her work runs from political engagement and policy analysis through to media relations and campaign strategy, turning what is happening in Westminster and the sector press into something an operator, a board or a journalist can act on.
She writes Bridgehead’s practical insight for provider and corporate audiences: the referral and reputation dynamics that decide care home occupancy, and the citation gap that determines which MedTech companies get quoted. Alice studied at the University of Leeds and is based in London.
