| After three years in this post, Caroline was headhunted to join the NHS Executive to work on NHS Reform where she project managed the First Wave of NHS Trusts working closely with ministers on the assessment process. In 1991 Caroline was appointed to head up the NHS Womens Unit charged with maximising opportunities for women at all levels of the NHS.
In 1996 Caroline became a Fellow of Kings Fund Management College where as part of her portfolio specialising in leadership development she project managed the NHS Chief Executive Development Programme prior to the appointment of a full time Director. In addition Caroline initiated work on helping NHS employers to access European funding sources researching and co-writing a guide to EU funding for the NHS.
Caroline has co-directed a number of well received investigations into Health Authority plans to reconfigure acute hospital services in Kidderminster, Wakefield and West Hertfordshire working closely with community interests to secure more effective public involvement in the formal consultative processes. At the same time she has continued to offer advice on personal futures to senior managers facing Trust mergers and needing individual career development.
A major piece of work undertaken by Caroline was an 18 month assignment acting as Secretary to the Royal Brompton Hospital Independent Paediatric Inquiry and the parallel Harefield Hospital Independent Paediatric Inquiry which reviewed parents' concerns about paediatric cardiac services at each hospital. The Inquiry report was published in April 2001 and the majority of the Inquiry Panel's 119 recommendations are currently being implemented.
Since 1998 Caroline has continued to provide Executive Coaching to senior managers and doctors much enhanced by the experience she gained in reviewing the performance of doctors accused of serious professional misconduct and the impact this had on an organisation under pressure. She is one of eight Executive Coaches working within the Irish NHS.
Caroline has been a non executive Director of the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust since September 2001. She is a Lay Chairman of the General Medical Council's Fitness to Practice Committee, a Lay Member of the CIMA Fitness to Practice Committee and from April 2006 to April 2009, is a Lay Member of the Judicial Conduct and Review Body.
