Emma Senyard joins Newham in August
The Royal London Hospital’s Emma Senyard will be moving to a position at Newham this August.
After 18 years at RLH, Emma has worked her way up from a band 5 adult intensive care nurse to her current appointment as associate director of nursing for the surgical division, and now to her recent appointment as deputy director of nursing at Newham.
Joining Barts Health in August 1999, Emma was supported to complete specialist courses in ICU and trauma as well as a mentorship course. She then spent two years gaining experience as a night nurse practitioner as well as a year in the critical care outreach team at Homerton Hospital. Emma returned to Barts in 2005 as a band 7 senior sister in ICU. Her next move was to senior clinical site manager for five years. She was then promoted to senior nurse for ICU for RLH, WXH and Newham. Emma was site-based at Newham until she was promoted to her current role as associate director of nursing for surgery at the RLH in April 2016. Last year, Emma received an OBE for her work caring for patients during the London Bridge terrorist attacks. This award has been a highlight of her career.
Emma enjoys developing teams and seeing members of her team promoted and doing well – it gives her a sense of achievement. She can sum up her time working at RLH as ‘inspiring, supportive and motivational.’
“The Royal London is an amazing place to work with such a range of opportunities to develop your nursing career. It has been a fantastic place to work for 18 years of my career and I will miss both the role and the people.”
Emma is excited to start at Newham and is looking forward to this new challenge. She said, “I enjoyed my time at Newham as a senior nurse and feel there is so much potential with regards to developing nursing, education and governance on the site.”
Emma’s final day at the RLH will be 19 July and she will start her new post at Newham on 1 August.
