Reason for applying for the scheme
Imogen is excited to bring her clinical expertise and passion to investigate and develop ways to improve outcomes for us all. She is ready to be at the forefront of leading positive, greener changes to our clinical and personal lives; increasing awareness and finding solutions to reduce waste and emissions, embedding permanent change to the way we live and work, privately and professionally.
Imogen has made positive changes in her personal life for the environment, but the potential to transition this passion into her workplace would be hugely rewarding. As a Nurse and Clinical Nurse Educator in Critical Care, Imogen can provide the skills to bring profound insight to make realistic changes to daily front-line practise and bridge knowledge gaps between management and clinical practitioners. Imogen has the potential to be an influential role model to a large workforce. This opportunity will allow her to improve and develop her platform to make meaningful and sustainable change. The scheme would stretch and challenge her current leadership abilities, introduce new thinking, new methods and amalgamate new and transferable leadership skills to become an encouraging, inspiring role model.
Imogen is keen to access the widespread networking platform the scheme provides to inspire, and be inspired, work collaboratively with a variety of leaders, shape and further develop her leadership skills, and operate with like minded and ambitious people to achieve an important common goal.
