I live in Westminster; I am involved with the CNWL on many platforms in Westminster. 

I am on the Westminster Senior Management team, as a carer rep for nearly 2 years. Where I have been able to voice any issues regarding services of carers and SU at a local level. I am also a member of the Carers board for Westminster. I have/am been involved with recruitment panels. For many different roles and Bands. 

I have worked for 10 years as a Manager at an Extra Care Housing service. Which was a challenging role. In my care was people with a variety of disabilities including Mental Health. Where I gained a lot of skills and knowledge and a Qualification as a registered Manager. 

I am currently a carer for my wife who has MH issues. I also have a son with Autism.

I also use the services of the CMHT, so I have lived experience of what it is like to be in receipt of services and how those services are to be delivered. 

I am passionate that everyone receives the care they deserve in a dignified way and that SU and Carers have access to all services. 

I feel that all the above will make me a good Carer Governor, I hope I am able to influence decisions regarding Carers across the CNWL. 

With a robust background in brand transformation and service improvement, I bring a strategic focus to my role as Carer Governor at CNWL NHS Trust. My expertise in healthcare assessment and business development uniquely positions me to enhance patient care and optimise processes within the NHS. As a paid carer and Support Worker in a mental health supported living accommodation, I have first-hand experience in providing compassionate, effective care. This experience allows me to advocate effectively for the interests of carers and
the individuals they support.

My career spans advocacy, patient experience projects, and quality improvement initiatives, all driven by a commitment to achieving better outcomes for patients. As a service improvement strategist, I am passionate about supporting the NHS in delivering exceptional, compassionate care. My diverse experience ensures that I bring a well-rounded perspective to my role, dedicated to fostering an environment where both patients and carers can thrive.
