Further Information
I am a Deputy Medical Director and Consultant Cardiologist who has trained and worked in NHS Scotland and England. My current NHS role is in North Cumbria. I am also a member of the RCPE Quality Governance Collaborative Faculty and am undertaking a PhD exploring how we apply governance in healthcare, through an intersectional lens.
As a female cardiologist and at times a less than full time trainee/employee, I have first-hand experience of inequality, discrimination and exclusion within healthcare and of challenging those behaviours. In recent years I have become more involved with the College through the Quality Governance Collaborative. In doing so I have found a space in which I am respected and valued as an individual. I applied to be involved with the College's EDI Group with the aim of making RCPE in all of its guises that space for all of its members.
