I am currently employed at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Addenbrookes, as the Lead Nurse for the Acute Healthcare Strategy. This role is relatively new for me and involves challenging existing healthcare practices and developing strategies to inform the future of healthcare in our region. My career at CUH commenced in 2002, and since then I have gained experience in orthopaedics, acute medicine, and predominantly urgent and emergency care services. I am deeply passionate about enhancing patient care.
A colleague informed me about the RAMA Foundation, and I was immediately interested in learning more. The enthusiasm and commitment that I encountered when speaking with members of the foundation were truly inspiring, motivating me to become involved. I have had the privilege of volunteering on an orthopaedic programme in Myanmar in the past, which has given me insight into the various challenges faced by healthcare systems in other countries.
The RAMA Foundation has not previously included a nurse in their travels, presenting an exciting opportunity for me to expand our connections within the broader multi-disciplinary workforce. My objective is also to explore how we can develop collaborations across services and share our knowledge and skills. This experience will help broaden my understanding of healthcare challenges and how to address them collaboratively.
Helen is joining an amazing team of self funded Rama Foundation volunteers going to India in August 2025. You can support them here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/cghpindia?utm_medium=FA&utm_source=CL
