“If something is wrong, fix it now. But train yourself not to worry, worry fixes nothing” Ernest Hemingway
I work as a part of the senior management team for the Kent Health Visiting Service which delivers the Healthy Child Programme in accordance with national and local strategies and guidance. Alongside the Head of Operational Services and District Managers, I ensure the development of a modernised Health Visiting service in response to the current national and local policy.
My responsibilities include continued development of clinical standards, pathways and models of service delivery in line with the relevant national guidance. In addition I contribute to professional development programmes across all staff.
My career path is to continue in my current field and see what work opportunities arise in the future. My professional interest is exploring digital opportunities at work in order to work more effectively, efficiently and improve client experience.
My hobbies include horse riding, crafting, travelling and learning French.
