Summary

Accomplished health and social care leader with over 20 years of experience dedicated to improving nursing and residential outcomes through effective engagement strategies. I have a robust background in nursing and residential dementia care, with a proven track record of success in both outstanding and turnaround homes.

I have consistently achieved and exceeded key performance indicators (KPIs) and quality performance indicators (QPIs), ensuring excellence in service delivery. Recently, I led a team through an external Care4Quality inspection, resulting in an overall rating of 'Outstanding'.

My strong commercial acumen is complemented by effective financial management, including the control of care home accounts. I have been featured in interviews and videos for Royal Borough Greenwich and Bexley , where I shared successful practices and innovative ideas in nursing and dementia care.

As a member of the Clinical Board at Royal Borough Greenwich, I actively contribute to the sharing of ideas and innovations that enhance care standards. I have also interviewed and published several innovative practices through the National Care Forum and Skills for Care, showcasing my commitment to promoting best practices in the sector.

As an award-winning Outstanding Leader of the Year, I was entrusted with additional responsibilities that propelled me into a regional role. In this capacity, I provided comprehensive support to managers through the induction process, ensuring a smooth onboarding experience for new staff. I oversaw the operations of a 101-bed recovery nursing home, conducting regular service visits to monitor performance and quality of care. Additionally, I offered guidance and support to home managers in navigating daily challenges, fostering a collaborative and high-performing environment. My leadership has contributed to maintaining high standards of care and operational excellence across the region.
