Barry Syder
Barry has been working in training and development for more than three decades, mainly in the primary healthcare sector. He is responsible for managing and marketing our training opportunities, curriculum development, internal verification and managing the business.
Pauline Young
Pauline is an experienced training and recruitment consultant with a background in general practice and public sector management. Her dedicated and inspirational approach to personal development has transformed the lives of countless managers over the past twenty years. As many ex-students will testify, Pauline is not only a highly skilled tutor when leading a qualification programme, she remains a valued coach and mentor for many years afterwards.
Our team of associates
We are fortunate to have a fantastic team of associate trainers including Dr Helen Barnaby, Helen Mackinnon, Dr Cathie Shipton, Karen Sallis, and Barbara Lewin. Together they have plenty of broad-based, current experience in primary care and the voluntary sector.
A personal service
“When you call our number, you will get straight through to me – we have no office staff. We believe in a personal service – hence our name, Syder and Young. We have a small team of trainers, most of whom have worked for us over many years and all of whom have had their training skills honed by us. They share our values.”
Barry Syder, Director
