Tracey Bailey
I was elected to Milton Keynes City Council in May 2023. I have a background in academia, most recently as an Educational Developer, but formerly as a Lecturer in Biomedicine. In the latter role I worked with a number of hospitals on research projects on cancer and eye diseases. I have experience of governance in the education sector, and I am pleased now to have the opportunity of being a ‘critical friend’ in the healthcare sector through participation in the council of governors.
