Elaine Thorpe
Deputy Director of Nursing
University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

I have the privilege of being a Deputy Director of nursing at UCLH. I take pride in being person-centred, and that means whatever I do or say, decisions I make, conversations I have - I always try to put staff and patients at the heart of it. I believe no-one is ever the finished product and there’s always room for personal growth. I’ve undertaken an MSc in Leadership, and last year I became a Dame Elizabeth Anionwu fellow for Inclusivity.
