A Warm Welcome
It is a pleasure to announce that the jointly hosted NW Children’s Cancer Operational Delivery Network (ODN) is now established. ODN’s were formally identified to deliver a collaborative model of care to improve the experiences and services for specific patient groups, based on regional and local need.
The Team
Davina Hartley and Charlotte Lloyd have now commenced in their roles as ODN manager and Quality Improvement Lead, respectively. Davina is a social worker by background, who has extensive experience in networking and has led on system change projects within Palliative & End of Life Care for Children and Young People. Charlotte is a registered children’s nurse; with experience in Haemato-oncology. Successful completion of an MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice sparked a passion for service improvement and transformation.
