She is respected and called upon by clinical and managerial colleagues as an expert, particularly in health related aspects of information security and data protection. Sue injects a passion into the subject, which enthuses, enlightens and persuades staff at all levels. Patients and their advocates trust her advice and support.

Educated to Masters degree level she has extensive analytical and presentational competence, highly developed project management and sponsorship skills, and always produces work of a high standard and quality.
