Sarah Chalmers-Page
About Me:
I am originally an NHS manager. I do not have any medical or nursing qualifications; I used to want to be a psychologist, but it turned out I was better at being a manager! I finished a degree in psychology, then worked in the USA for two years looking after adults with learning disabilities. When I came back, after one job as an assistant psychologist, I switched to the NHS graduate management scheme. I am always really keen to talk to people about all the jobs you can do in the NHS, helping people and promoting health, if you do not want to be a nurse or a doctor, and why these jobs are really important.
My Work:
I work with the medical and nursing teams to look at how successful their projects have been, what we can do to make them better next time and identify any problems with them that they can fix.
