Carol has recently retired from the NHS after working across the Lincolnshire NHS System for most of her career. She feels very lucky to have held a number of roles that have enabled her to work with a wide range of colleagues, from the NHS, Voluntary Sector and Local Authority, as well as many of the people using these services.
Carol has had a varied career and more latterly supported and led service improvement and service re-design projects, particularly looking to improve care for people living with long term conditions and frail older people across Lincolnshire.
When the opportunity to join LACE came along, Carol felt that her skills, experience and on-going interest in improving services for older people would fit well with the Associations values and vision.
As well as joining LACE Housing, Carol is also Chair of the Board of Trustees for Age UK Lincoln and South Lincolnshire, which has enabled her to gain experience over the last two years as to the role and responsibilities of a Trustee and to recognise the synergy between the two organisations.
