Tim Radcliffe

Net Zero Food Programme Manager, NHS England

Scaling Up NHS’ progress towards Net Zero

Tim will be speaking about the NHS’ journey towards Net Zero in the provision of the catering service in England.  He will look at the issues they face, the scale of the challenge and give an update on progress and plans.  He will challenge delegates on how the foodservice equipment manufacturing sector can support them with innovation and increasingly sustainable food production solutions.

Bringing thirty years of corporate, military, hospitality and restaurant ownership experience to the NHS, Tim’s approach is that every patient deserves to eat restaurant-quality meals. A passionate proponent of food as medicine, appearing on Channel Four’s Food Unwrapped, and published on many occasions to showcase the opportunities, rather than the restrictions, of providing over 5,000 high-quality meals a day. Winner of the Public Sector Hospital Caterer of the year 2021 and Hospital Caterer of the year 2022.

Tim joined NHS England as Net Zero Food Programme Manager in August 2022 promoting the Net Zero Food Programme, linking intrinsically to the Food Standards and NHS Food Review. Driving exemplary leadership throughout NHS catering.
