Meet the Founder
Richard (Ricky) Brown
Founder & Principal Consultant
BSc | GradCert | Dip | PGDip
Richard brings over two decades of healthcare experience, beginning his career at 16 in aged care before working in disability support and within the NHS while completing his nursing education. These early experiences established a strong appreciation for frontline care and the people delivering it.
His career has since spanned emergency nursing, rural and remote healthcare, and senior healthcare leadership across Australia and the United Kingdom. Through multiple Director of Nursing and interim leadership appointments, Richard has supported organisations to stabilise services, strengthen clinical governance, develop workforce capability and establish sustainable operational improvements.
His broader experience includes establishing multidisciplinary services, leading recruitment and training initiatives, reviewing emergency department models of care and delivering patient flow and service redesign projects.
Richard founded ALIGN Health Consultants to bridge the gap between organisational strategy and frontline practice. He believes meaningful improvement requires more than recommendations; it requires collaboration, clear direction and practical implementation.
Through ALIGN, Richard works alongside healthcare organisations to build on their existing strengths, overcome operational challenges and deliver measurable, sustainable improvements for staff, services and the communities they support.
