Sally has worked in the charity sector for 14 years. Before joining the MND Association she worked for the British Heart Foundation where she helped to secure Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) as a priority in the NHS Long-Term Plan. Sally has worked previously in the neurology sector with the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society, where she led policy and external relations programmes which included the award-winning public affairs campaign ‘Treat Me Right’.
Prior to her work in the charity sector Sally worked in the public sector working in the NHS and Local / Central Government for over 10 years where she held senior roles in quality improvement, commissioning and strategic planning.
As Director of Services and Partnerships Sally has responsibility for our strategy to provide information and support services which help people living with MND to feel better equipped to manage their condition; a key part of our approach is working in partnership with health and care services to drive improvements in the standard of care for people with and affected by MND. The directorate has a key role in working alongside volunteers in our Branch and Group networks and alongside external partners to deliver high quality and fully integrated information and support.
