Parent & Carer
Term of office 2023 to 2026
Who am I?
I am the mother of two girls – one is under the care of Alder Hey and the other under Ormskirk Hospital. Our family is based in Wavertree. I am a barrister specialising in clinical negligence and inquest law, primarily representing NHS trusts. I am also an Assistant Coroner for Birmingham and Solihull and a CEDR qualified mediator. I sit on the Coroners’ Society Law Review Committee and am a member of the Attorney General’s Panel. I have practised law in Liverpool for over 15 years and am passionate about this city and its future. Alder Hey is a credit to Liverpool and I am eager to do all I can to help maintain the high level of service it provides to families in the Northwest and to repay the hospital for the exemplary treatment they have provided to our daughter.
What do I bring to this role?
My work as a barrister and coroner requires me to deal with complex medical and emotional issues in a sensitive manner. I have the necessary expertise to assess how systems and processes can be improved to reduce risk and am keenly aware of the complexities surrounding multiple stakeholders and the need for effective collaboration. I can assimilate voluminous and detailed information and identify key issues. Sitting on the Law Review Committee also allows me to be at the cutting edge of coronial law. I believe that my skill set coupled with my professional experience will assist Alder Hey in continuing to flourish in these difficult times.
