The Network Team

I am currently a Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine and Anaesthesia at Ashford & St Peter’s Hospital (ASPH) having been appointed in 2009.  I qualified from King’s College, London in 1996 and worked in London for the first couple of years of my training.  My Senior House Officer years were rather nomadic spreading from Cornwall to Manchester.  My Specialist Registrar training was in Oxford with Advanced Intensive Care Training in London.  Marriage bought me to Surrey, not being allowed to return to Manchester as it ‘rains all the time up there’.

I was a vascular anaesthetist until the re-organisation of vascular surgery in Surrey and since then have developed an interest in anaesthesia for upper and lower limb orthopaedic surgery.

I have held several Senior Leadership Roles in both education and management at ASPH finishing as Divisional Director for the surgical division (GSACTT) which I stepped down from in 2022. 

Allied work interests include medical law which continues through membership of the Medico-Legal Society, and all things nutrition from my time as nutrition lead at ASPH.

Time away from work involves a developing taxi service for our two daughters and a deep understanding of all things pony related.  Sport is now non-contact with the introduction of golf into my life (mainly non-contact because of my air shots).

I look forward to working with you and getting to know you all in the coming months.

I joined the network in March 2022 as the Network Manager. Critical care is an area that I am passionate about and I have held a number of roles within Intensive Care and High Dependency throughout my time as a nurse. 

My role as Network Manager is to promote the partnership of the multi-disciplinary clinical teams to deliver the best care for their patients. To improve standardisations of care across the network governed by quality standards and agreed pathways. Cohesiveness builds a strong, positive support network, and the sharing of knowledge and experience between the critical care units ultimately benefits patient care. 

Covid-19 has had a significant impact on NHS staff, and there is a need for continue to support the health and wellbeing of critical care staff, especially with the ongoing NHS day to day challenges. 

The network supports patient and public involvement, and for the patients voice to be heard through any service developments or standards related to the delivery of ODN objectives, and to act as champions for patients and their interests. 

I joined the Network in October 2022.  I have worked as a Registered Nurse since 2010, mostly within Critical care. Aside from being a Point of Care Nurse in Critical care, I have worked as a Quality Improvement Nurse and a Practice educator in the Acute sector. 

In my role as the Quality Improvement Lead for the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Adult Critical care Network, I liaise with various healthcare professionals and service users to develop and deliver effective improvement projects to support the delivery of positive outcomes and quality experiences. To this end, I would be working with patients and the public, Clinical leads, Staff and other service users. 

I am an enthusiastic patient safety professional who firmly believes that a positive work culture, education and great leadership promotes safe and quality healthcare. I hope to continue to drive transformation projects through mobilisation, professional support, opportunities, and tools that would support optimal service delivery across Critical care units in the Network.
