Our former Chief Executive Professor Judith Ellis has been awarded an OBE for services to healthcare in the Queen’s Birthday Honours. Judith was at the College for four successful years from 2014 to May 2018.
Judith is Chair of Trustees of the Tropical Health and Education Trust (THET) and Honorary Professor of Nursing at London South Bank University where she was previously the Dean of the Faculty of Health and Social Care. Judith worked for three years as the Nursing Officer for Quality at the Department of Health, spent eight years as Director of Nursing and Workforce Development at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital and was for five years a Council Member of the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
A great day celebrating although a bit overwhelming! Thanks all for the good wishes!
