On Monday 10 March, we are delighted to welcome Anna Telfer as the Trust’s new Deputy Director of Nursing.
Anna brings more than twenty-five years of experience as an Adult and Children’s Nurse and Health Visitor, with expertise across emergency care, paediatrics, and health visiting.
She began her career in accident and emergency, where her passion for emergency care and children and young people’s nursing first developed.
As a Health Visitor, Anna played a key role in advancing public health and clinical leadership initiatives.
Her career has since encompassed roles including Matron, Nursing and Midwifery Practice Education and Workforce Lead, and, most recently, Associate Director for Children and Young People, NMAHP Research, Professional Nurse Advocacy, and Advanced Practice at Newcastle Hospitals.
Anna is committed to providing strong nursing leadership that enhances patient safety and experience.
She is excited to join County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust and support the strategic direction for Nurses, Midwives, and Allied Health Professionals across the Trust.
Please join us in giving Anna a warm welcome to #TeamCDDFT.
