Meet Dionne, our Care Academy Manager

My Experience

I have been a registered adult nurse for 25 years, I went into nursing because I wanted to help others, caring for people was a privilege. Then, 17 years ago, I made the move into education and training still within the NHS leading teams delivering education and training to both clinical and non clinical staff. Following this, a different learning journey came later in my career studying leadership management at Sunderland University.

Most recently I have worked across the region in a widening participation role to promote the different roles and career opportunities because I am passionate about developing people helping them to achieve their full potential. I hope that I can ensure the Care Academy reaches its full potential – we have a very exciting future ahead!
