What I focus on
I help teams deliver safe, clinically effective care by strengthening governance structures: risk awareness, incident learning, audit plans, and measurable quality improvement.
About
I’m a registered nurse and clinical governance leader with a public health perspective. I currently work as Governance Lead (CHIC) at East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, supporting safer care through practical governance: clear standards, meaningful reporting, and supportive learning systems.

How I lead
Calm, evidence-led decision making, strong standards and accountability — with real empathy for frontline realities. My goal is governance that supports people, not burdens them.
My background
I trained in nursing at the University of Jos and have practised across the UK and Nigeria in acute and community settings. Over time, I moved into quality improvement and clinical governance because I’ve seen how systems — not just individual effort — shape patient outcomes.
I’m especially interested in how we make standards usable on busy wards: simple tools, clear escalation, good documentation, and honest learning after things go wrong.
Current role: Governance Lead (CHIC)
In my current role, I operationally lead clinical quality and governance across the Division — including patient safety, incident and complaint learning, risk management, audit planning, assurance reporting, and information governance.
I support investigations and learning implementation, provide expert advice to clinical leaders, and help services evidence compliance with fundamental standards (including Health & Social Care Act regulations and CQC expectations).
How I work
I’m calm and evidence-led, with a strong focus on follow-through. I aim to make governance supportive and practical: fewer documents, clearer expectations, faster feedback loops, and measurable actions.
Professional Nurse Advocate (PNA)
As a PNA, I support restorative clinical supervision and psychologically safe learning — because workforce wellbeing and patient safety are closely linked. Good governance should strengthen teams, not drain them.
Interests
Clinical quality improvement, PSIRF learning, digital health and telemedicine governance, and building reliable care processes that patients and staff can trust.
Public health lens
Population outcomes, service quality, prevention and system improvement — connecting clinical work with wider health impact.
Clinical foundation
Frontline nursing practice across acute and community settings (adult and paediatric), UK and Nigeria.
Digital health readiness
Governance principles adapted to remote care: triage, escalation, audit trails and confidentiality.
