Siobhan Farmer, Director of Public Health

Siobhan Farmer, as Director of Public Health, is responsible for ensuring that Gloucestershire meets its legal obligations in protecting and promoting the health of its communities. This means she oversees essential public health services—including domestic abuse support, migrant health, and community and accommodation-based services—and ensures that statutory functions are delivered to protect public wellbeing. She also builds strategic relationships with the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector to enhance these services.

Siobhan brings a wealth of experience from her previous roles outside the county, which has equipped her with a broad understanding of public health challenges and solutions. Notably, she played a key role in managing the COVID-19 pandemic soon after joining the council, quickly establishing effective measures to protect communities during a critical time. Her depth of knowledge and hands-on leadership continue to drive quality public health strategies across Gloucestershire.
