Biography

Kerry-Jane qualified as a speech and language therapist in 1999, working clinically with children in various NHS and education settings. She has worked as an operational leader across a range of community health care services since 2017 and is now working as a Deputy Divisional Lead for LCHS.

The division’s portfolio includes a wide range of AHP and nursing community services from adult and paediatric therapies, podiatry, stroke services and post covid rehabilitation to diabetes, tuberculosis, respiratory and continence care.

Inspired by the universal challenges of meeting increasing demand with limited resources Kerry-Jane set about using a care unit approach to help the varied services to understand and demonstrate their demand and their capacity. Care Units are way to capture and describe the needs of patients across their whole treatment journey and to match them to the workforce time and skills required to meet their needs. The approach embraces and adapts to the many and varied needs of individual patients as well as the range of service delivery approaches and unique aspects of care across professional groups.
