With nearly 30 years of experience in healthcare and more than two decades in the NHS, I’ve had the privilege of working across a wide range of clinical roles—from support worker to registered nurse—across both inpatient and community mental health settings. My journey into digital began in 2020, supporting the implementation and optimisation of electronic patient records (EPRs), with a focus on bridging the gap between clinical needs and digital solutions.

In November 2023, I was proud to be appointed Chief Nurse and Information Officer at Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. I’m passionate about harnessing the power of digital technologies to enhance clinical workflows, reduce burden on frontline staff, and ultimately improve patient care. My focus is on practical, clinician-informed innovation that makes a real-world difference.

I’m excited to be speaking at the Digital Nursing Times event, where I’ll be sharing insights into our Trust’s evolving journey with AI—exploring how we’re safely and meaningfully deploying AI to support care delivery within mental health services.
