Senior Clinical Delivery Manager

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

Having worked in the NHS for 15 years, I have applied my project and change management experience across various healthcare priorities.  For my current role, my experience comes from eight years of supporting improvement in adult mental health services.  Including, delivery of national ambitions defined in the Long Term Plan.  More recently, my attention has been to all-age suicide prevention, self- harm reduction and suicide bereavement.  My role is to promote partnership working and support continued investment in areas of greatest need across the South East.

What excites you about working at South East Mental Health Team?

Across the South East region there is a real commitment from those I work with to deliver demonstrable improvements, to collectively reduce suicide and self-harm, and ensure specialist bereavement services meet local needs.  There are also many examples of local innovation, collaboration and good practice which makes it an exciting place to work.

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

For all aspects of suicide prevention and bereavement, I endeavour to connect systems and individuals, to highlight issues and opportunities, share good practice and use creative thinking to find innovative solutions.  It is my role to support local delivery and champion greater resource and investment where it is needed.
