As an esteemed Queen’s Nurse and nationally recognised dementia specialist, with an exceptional background spanning clinical leadership, quality and governance, education, and strategic service development, Suzanne brings not only deep clinical credibility, but also a strong belief in person-centred, evidence-based care that genuinely listens to the voices of residents, families and colleagues.

In my role as Director of Clinical and Dementia Care, I will work closely with our Home Managers, leadership teams and Head Office colleagues to continue raising standards, focusing on person-centred approaches and social prescribing, supporting our teams to deliver outstanding care in line with KYN’s values and commitment to excellence.
