Director of Clinical Services Appointment
Hello everyone,
I am delighted to be able to share with you all that we have appointed Catherine Randall to the Director of Clinical Services position (designate initially). Catherine has this morning formally accepted the position and is absolutely delighted to be joining the team, she is looking forward to starting the role in September.
I am personally really happy with the appointment, Catherine has a wealth of experience within the health system, locally regionally and nationally, and will ensure that Derian remains at the forefront of children’s palliative care, building on the great work so far. Her relationships within the commissioning world are going to be extremely valuable, alongside her 37yr nursing background. After a very strategic role as the national lead for safeguarding with NHSE, she is looking forward to getting directly involved in leading our clinical practice and working with myself and the whole team in shaping services going forward.
Catherine’s start date is yet to be confirmed but it is hoped that she will attend the away day on the 4th September.
Huge thanks to everyone who has supported the process. Catherine was very complimentary of everyone she met and commented how impressed she was with our robust assessment processes (I don’t think she had ever been put through her paces in this way!!)
As always, if you have any questions please give me a shout.
Have as great weekend
| Best wishes
Karen
