Mrs Wendy Newnham

I have SPQ BSc in district nursing and an MSc in Health & Social Care and am incredibly passionate about community nursing. I recently led the successful adult community nursing service transfer from an acute hospital to a local GP Federation. As Nurse Director, I am privileged to work with highly motivated, skilled, and expert teams of primary care colleagues and adult community nurses. Through working in various roles across the community setting and in different organisations, I have experience of integration across health and care systems, and service improvement to build on improved outcomes for people and their families.

 “I am very excited to be CNO Senior Clinical Nurse Fellow and apart of the National Community Nursing Plan because every day and every night across the country, Community Nurses deliver expert planned and unplanned nursing care, advice, treatment and support to people at, or close to home.  Through the National Community Plan, community nursing will become more visible, with more opportunities for career development to ensure that, as the backbone of the NHS, we can all continue to deliver great care to people, carers, and families 24/7.”
