About Nutbrook Healthcare

Nutbrook Healthcare was founded by Sue Harris MSc, as a vehicle to share some of the lessons she has learnt in over 30 years working in healthcare. Her mission is to make hospitals a better, safer place for patients and staff.

Sue started her career as a nurse and midwife and then went on to manage maternity units in Essex and the East Midlands. She then used her varied experience in her role as CNST assessor for the NHS Litigation Authority, prior to the withdraw of the standards in 2014.

Since then she has worked with charities including Macmillan Cancer Support and Bliss, the neonatal charity, has been a member of international hospital audit teams in Europe and China and has delivered risk management training in both the UK and United States. Sue also has a keen interest in the theory of leadership and has been a member of the Scout Association as either a leader and volunteer manager since 1985.
