Events/exhibitions, awards, conferences

Working within the Marketing and Communications team at HI NENC, Sarah’s focus is on event management.

With 25 years experience in event management, Sarah has responsibility for enhancing the reputation of HI NENC by coordinating and delivering a busy calendar of events which will support not only a diverse programme of work with colleagues internally but our wider collaboration with partners both locally and nationally on joint events.

She leads on designing events and deciding on the best approach to deliver numerous projects and events running concurrently.

Sarah also manages the Bright Ideas in Health Awards, an annual competition to celebrate the achievements of individuals and teams working within the NHS, industry and academia, who believe that the services provided to patients can be improved, either through technical innovation or through better service delivery. The Awards are now celebrating their eighteenth year and are the largest healthcare event in the North East of England.

Sarah joined HI NENC after a long career at RTC North Ltd, a technology transfer company in Sunderland, where she held numerous roles including Communications and Events Manager of NHS Innovations North, a service supporting NHS Trusts with internal innovation and the development of innovative healthcare products.
