A Knaresborough doctor is one of only four UK people to have won an international placement in the United States.

Dr Joe Tay has been selected for a Harkness fellowship in health care policy and practice by the US-based Commonwealth Fund in 2023.

The fund, which was established in New York in 1918, aims to promote a high quality, affordable health care system for everyone.

Its fellowships provide opportunities for medical professionals committed to advancing health care policy and practice to spend a year in America.

Dr Tay, who currently works as the clinical director of Forward Leeds, the city’s alcohol and drug service, said:

“This is an incredible privilege for me, made possible partly due to the amazing work that Forward Leeds as an organisation undertakes in supporting people with their alcohol and drugs issues.
“I’m looking forward to learning and bringing back insights and experiences helpful to Yorkshire, and hopefully opportunities for national and international cooperation as well.”
