North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust | East of England

Celia has served 43 years in the NHS in Peterborough, first as an emergency nurse and now as the emergency preparedness lead for her local hospitals. Celia's vital support in managing incident control rooms has most recently ensured strong leadership in her Trust's Covid-19 response. She has been an invaluable colleague prior to that though, managing countless major incidents, and relocating a 600+ bed hospital in 2010. Celia inspires and mentors others, teaching a highly-respected hospital major incident course to health colleagues across the UK and internationally.
