There are three governors from Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale representing you. You can find out more about them below, or contact them on pcn-tr.ftmembership.penninecare1@nhs.net
I am deeply committed to inclusive, holistic healthcare that works for everyone—not just in theory, but in everyday practice.
I am a dedicated health and wellness coach with a strong passion for supporting individuals in achieving healthier, balanced lives. I run “Wellness On The Rock,” offering wellness plans, weight loss services, and a community-based nutrition club. I regularly lead educational workshops on topics like nutrition, self-care, and holistic health, including during key events such as Ramadan. With a background in both coaching and community engagement, I bring a compassionate, culturally aware approach to health. I’m committed to promoting preventative care and ensuring NHS services reflect the needs of the diverse communities they serve.
As an NHS Governor, I plan to deepen my understanding of healthcare governance and contribute meaningfully to shaping services that truly reflect the needs of our diverse communities. I aim to be a bridge between patients, staff, and decision-makers—bringing the voices of the community into the heart of NHS planning and delivery. I bring strong communication skills, empathy, cultural awareness, and a passion for preventative health. My experience in coaching and leading wellness initiatives equips me to listen, engage, and advocate effectively. I’m committed to transparency, inclusion, and continuous improvement, and I will work hard to support a system that prioritises both patient outcomes and staff well-being.
Profile coming soon.
I have dedicated my career to managing not-for-profit organisations, social housing, and care organisations. With over 30 years of experience living in the area, I care about the local community's needs and challenges.
I have served as the chair of the pupil referral service for children in difficulties, demonstrating my commitment to improving local services for children.
My passion for public health is evident through my role as the former chair of the Rochdale Football Community Trust, where I aimed to enhance public health through community engagement. I have also held non-executive roles in primary care health organisations and served as a magistrate in Rochdale for ten years.
I am a skilled mediator and appreciate the importance of taking people along with me to encourage change within an organisation.
Currently, I am a reviewer of regional theatre, continuing to contribute to the community in various ways.
