This article has been tagged with the following terms: Elected Governors

Parent & Carer

Term of office 2023 to 2026

Who am I?

As well as being Mum to two children I am also a local GP. I  am privileged to have spent time both training and later working at Alder Hey. As a result, I have been ‘behind the door’ of life-changing moments for families. Shortly after my son was born I found myself on the other side of that door as he was diagnosed with a chronic lung disease. I now understand even more the important role the hospital holds. I can think of no better role than that of Governor, to help me give back to the Trust that has supported me so much, professionally and personally, and I am delighted to have been elected.

What do I bring to this role? 

I have experience of sitting on both sides of the door as both mother and medic ensuring I understand the challenges faced on either side. I intend to draw on personal and professional experience to represent our children’s needs and my door, like that of the hospital’s, will always be open to hear your views.

How can I be contacted?

I can be contacted via the following e-mail address: [email protected]
