Dr Robin Cordell

Chair and Co-Founder

As Chair of Cordell Health, I have overall responsibility for leading the Board in ensuring effective governance and maintenance of the values of the social enterprise.

I am an accredited specialist in Occupational Medicine, and am a Fellow of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine (FFOM) as well as being an elected Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (FRCP). I have over 30 years’ experience advising organisations on health and healthcare policy, and delivering healthcare services in the NHS and the Armed Forces.

I am passionate about standards in occupational health and was appointed by the FOM as the lead for the 2023 Safe Effective Quality Occupational Health Service (SEQOHS) standards review. I am actively involved in the national health and work agenda, as a director of the Council for Work and Health, in training and examining for the Faculty of Occupational Medicine.

I have long experience of public service, in the NHS and the Defence Medical Services, and still live by their values. Having the courage to do and say the right thing, not the easy thing, remains important in our engagement with clients and in ensuring the objectivity and impartiality of the reports we write on our clients’ employees.

We seek regular feedback from managers and HR, and also from those employees, to ensure those we see feel they have been listened to and treated with respect. I remain committed to delivering the best service we can, including “going the extra mile” when we need to do so.

I am proud to serve in a high performing team of professionals, committed to excellence in occupational health service delivery to our broad range of clients and their employees.

Dr Nicola (Nikki) Cordell

CEO and Co-Founder

As CEO of Cordell Health, I have overall responsibility for our strategy and in particular where we need to invest in research and development of new services delivering our Social Mission to support those with disabilities in work, moving the focus from disability to ability.

I am an accredited specialist in Occupational Medicine, and a Fellow of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine (FFOM), with over 20 years’ experience in delivering occupational health services, first within the military and subsequently in the private and third sector. I have a keen interest in developing the evidence base within occupational health and wellbeing through workplace based research. I also support education and learning as the educational supervisor for our 5 specialist registrar posts in addition to examining for the Faculty of Occupational Medicine.

My experience in the military taught me to think outside the box. My strategy as result of experience to date, is to invest in research to understand what really works to support health and wellbeing in the workplace. With this knowledge we harness the power of technology and train quality staff to enable the workplace to support the health and wellbeing of all staff.

Being a Social Enterprise driven by a Social Mission is very important to me. As an organisation, I want us to not be focused on profit but instead make a positive difference in workplace health and wellbeing for all.

Clare Miller

Finance and Resources Director

As the Finance and Resources Director, I own all the support functions including. The two main functions are finance and clinical capacity, alongside Human Resources and managing our specialist support services in Information Technology, Legal and Accountancy.

I am a CIMA qualified accountant, with over 20 years’ experience in the commercial sector. I took a career break to raise the family and retrained as a personal trainer and nutritional advisor, specialising in clients who were apprehensive about public gyms. I returned to the finance world working for Cordell Health and accepting my current role in 2020.

I love being hands on with the businesses that I work with and have a wide variety of roles and responsibilities. Understanding the end-to-end business and how all the functions and workflows hang together from a commercial and financial aspect is where my strengths lie.

I use this knowledge in my day to day practice, to ensure that we deliver to our Social Mission balancing financial decision with our values as a Social Enterprise.

I believe in working for companies that make a difference, this philosophy first led me away from commercial land and into the wellbeing sector. It’s fantastic to find a role that combines both my skillset and beliefs.
