Simone Brown
North Central London stroke optimisation lead
With a 25-year tenure at University College Hospital, my journey in healthcare has been marked by a deep commitment to advancing patient care in the realms of cardiac and stroke medicine. My career initiated in the high-stakes environment of Acute Cardiac Medicine, where I gained invaluable experience in thrombolysing patients during critical heart attack episodes. This foundational work not only honed my clinical skills but also laid the groundwork for my future endeavors in stroke care.
Leveraging my expertise in thrombolysis, I set up and ran the Hyper Acute Stroke Service (HASU) at UCLH in 2010. This venture was a natural progression from my cardiac care background, allowing me to apply my acute intervention skills to revolutionise stroke treatment and recovery processes.
My journey took a transformative turn in 2017 when I ventured into Stroke Research. Leading a project to collect outcomes from stroke patients, I ventured into coding, a skill that initially challenged yet ultimately expanded my capabilities in data analysis and interpretation. This experience proved instrumental in my leadership of an NHSE pilot aimed at refining the clinical stroke pathway, a project that concluded in 2022 with significant insights into process optimisation and patient care enhancement.
Today, I am spearheading a pioneering project to develop a clinical dashboard for our stroke pathway. This initiative is designed to provide a holistic view of patient journeys through the stroke care continuum, enabling us to capture post-discharge outcomes, identify care gaps, and implement targeted improvements. My objective is to harness the power of data and technology to elevate patient care standards, ensuring optimal health outcomes and quality of life for stroke patients.
In each phase of my career, my mission has remained unwavering: to merge clinical expertise with technological advancements to set new benchmarks in healthcare transforming patient care through innovation and collaboration.
