The Chief Officer for nursing has been appointed three new nurses to join her on the national team. The nurses who have been appointed were eligible for the role if they have experience in the healthcare field, whether they came through a nurse agency or whether they came through a nursing recruitment agency. Directors include Nina Morgan, Bridget Lees and even Cathy Winfield. They have all been seconded to team up alongside Ruth for the next year. Ruth has stated that she is delighted at the end result and that the people who have been chosen are all over the moon with the opportunity that has been presented to them. Ms May has said that the trio bring a great deal of experience to the profession and the fact that they are now part of the senior leadership team is an excellent way to push things forward. It’s been understood that Morgan will focus on the professional leadership aspects as well as making sure that maternity is covered. Morgan is the chief nurse in Warwickshire and she has worked in the NHS for well over 25 years. She has said that she is both honoured and delighted to be able to take this opportunity and that she believes she can make a real difference. They can’t wait to begin initiating that next step and they believe that this opportunity is certainly one to be treasured.

Ms Winfield is the director for patient experiences and she has been given an MBE for her time and devotion to the nursing profession. She has said that she is delighted to take up this post and that she is going to continue to dedicate her life to it as much as she can. She has said that she now has the ability to really pursue her dream.
