As Specialist Advisor of Quality Improvement in the Improving Quality team within the national Learning Disability and Autism Programme, Sarah works to improve the way hospital care is provided to people who have a learning disability and autistic people.

The work focuses on fewer people in hospital care but for those that are admitted that the best possible care and treatment is provided, admissions are for the shortest period of time and in the least restrictive setting. All these are aims of the Improving Quality team alongside ensuring the voice of those in hospital is strengthened.

Sarah brings a background of working in operational leadership in NHS providers focusing on using improvement methodology to maximise the outcomes for those who need services.
