Tissue Viability Nurse Consultant and Nurse Director, Pioneer Wound and Lymphoedema Centres
Siobhan is a tissue viability nurse consultant with 25 years’ experience across primary care, community services, acute settings, and clinical commissioning in London and the Southwest. In 2023, she joined Pioneer Wound and Lymphoedema Centres as tissue viability nurse consultant and nurse director.
With a strong track record in quality improvement, innovation, systems thinking, and adaptive leadership, working collaboratively across professional and organisational boundaries, her career includes secondments to the Imperial Academic Health Science Network, where she led a joint commissioning initiative to develop and deliver pressure ulcer prevention training for carers across local authorities and health boards. This work has received quality improvement recognition awards from both European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel and the Chief Nurse at NHS England.
In 2022, Siobhan was seconded to the National Wound Care Strategy Programme, supporting test sites in developing case studies that explored the barriers and enablers to implementing the lower limb recommendations.
Passionate about strengthening nursing leadership, Siobhan champions clinicians as ‘experts by experience’ to influence organisational strategy in tissue viability and patient safety. She has a particular interest in amplifying diverse and underrepresented voices in healthcare improvement. Having recently completed an MBA and a Diploma in Senior Leadership and Management in Healthcare at the University of Exeter, Siobhan is eager to share insights on building and sustaining high-quality wound care services during a period of significant change across the UK's health systems.
