With over 40 years of leadership across clinical care, academia, regulation, and governance, I offer deep, actionable expertise to healthcare organizations seeking to elevate their nursing practice and patient outcomes.
As a former Director of Nursing and Clinical Services for Circle Health Group (CHG), and now serving as a Clinical Partner on the Corporate Clinical Team, I bring first-hand experience in leading change, improving quality, and building resilient nursing and midwifery teams. I also hold a PhD in Nursing, underscoring my commitment to evidence-based practice and lifelong learning.
Enhancing patient safety and clinical standards
Building workforce capability through education and mentorship
Supporting healthcare system improvement with insight and integrity
I’ve advised on national inquiries, served as a CQC inspector, and held governance roles such as trustee for MIND, the mental health charity.
If you’re looking to strengthen your clinical teams, improve service delivery, or navigate today’s evolving healthcare landscape with confidence, I would be honoured to support you.
