I have worked in the NHS since 1998 and registered as a Mental Health Nurse in 2003. I went on to complete a BSc (Hons) in mental health nursing in 2008, and a MA in Leadership and Innovation in 2018. My career has spanned adult acute inpatient, crisis, and community mental health services, with a particular interest in quality standards and improvement. I completed the IHI Quality Improvement Coaching course in 2019.

My current role is Associate Director of Quality Standards and Chief Nursing Information Officer, working for Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.
