Chief Executive Officer - Maxine Taffetani
Maxine has worked in the charitable sector in Milton Keynes for 13 years as a senior manager for young people’s sexual health services. In her previous role in regional operations, Maxine worked across a wide area in the UK, leading services across Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire, Luton, Greater Manchester, and Bristol, to ensure that young people's sexual health services were designed by the people using them.
When running these services, it was easy to see how the experiences, needs and wishes of young people to access support could get lost, especially when set against developments such as integrating services with adult sexual health services to reduce service delivery costs.
As an experienced champion of people’s voices, Maxine is keen to ensure that Healthwatch Milton Keynes champions the needs of our community. Outside of work, Maxine is a mother to two young sons in a British-Italian household, where she spends a lot of time cooking and doing home crafts with her boys.
