I’m currently a Registration Manager at the Care Quality Commission. I lead a team of registration inspectors, supporting them in their day-to-day work and helping ensure our assessments are fair, balanced, and evidence-based. A big part of my role is reviewing registration reports and making sure our decisions—whether to approve or refuse applications—are sound and proportionate to the facts. Before stepping into this role, I worked as a Registration Inspector from 2012, and prior to that, I spent 9 years managing domiciliary care services—8 years with the local authority and 1 year with a private provider. I’ve been working in health and social care since 1995, and it’s a sector I’m deeply passionate about. Outside of work, I enjoy cold water swimming—it’s a great way to reset and recharge!
