Vanessa Bourne

Head of Special Projects

Vanessa's connection with the Association goes back to 1995. She is a former Chairman of The Patients Association (1999-2002) and after a spell back in mid-Wales, where she lives, now works as Head of Special Projects.

Between 1986 and 1997 she was a lay member and then Chairman of various health authorities in Wales: Dyfed Family Health Services Authority, Dyfed HA and Dyfed Powys HA.   She is a former Chairman of the Welsh Association of Health Authorities and Trusts and has been a trustee of carers' and respite organisations. Currently she is a Vice President of Leonard Cheshire Disability.

Having lived for many years in Central London and now Mid-Wales, she believes strongly the NHS must offer access to clinical excellence regardless of postcodes and that politicians have a duty to make tough decisions, not duck them.
