About
Tineke is Head of Elective Recovery Analysis and Modelling at NHS England. In this capacity she leads analytical work focussed on elective care, including conducting national modelling to support the UK government’s ambition to reduce elective waiting times. Tineke has worked in the public sector since 2009, applying operational research techniques to a variety of health areas. Her experience ranges from GP workforce modelling to COVID-19 simulation, but throughout her career she has often returned to working on Referral to Treatment (RTT) waiting times. Notably, Tineke developed the modelling that informed the introduction of the England elective waiting time standard in 2012. She is passionate about using operational research and analysis on complex system problems to inform decision-making within healthcare and government.
