What relevant experience do you have to perform your current role?

I joined the Thames Valley Clinical  Networks in April 2013 with previous career experience in the NHS, regulatory environments and the private sector.  Throughout that time the career link has been a search for improvement in services  and most recently I spent two years with the GIRFT team looking to embed principles of better patient care in a range of clinical disciplines

What excites you about working at South East Clinical Delivery and Networks?

The ability to draw on all prior experience  and be a ‘change agent’ focused on the ‘what to do’ and the ‘how to do it’. Linking network activity with population health management enables the change at scale and pace we all want to see.

What difference are you making to improve the care and health outcomes of patients or members of the public?

As a ‘restless’ change agent I want to go further and faster to drive better care…we have a solid support from data and audit and I want to tailor that insight into practical solutions for patients. The principles of GIRFT (best care on a comprehensive, systematic and embedded basis) apply to all of our work and should enable development of care pathways which deliver best care, are financially robust and provide optimal value for money for every healthcare £ spent.
