Mrs Gillian Haworth's (Acting Chair)
Gill worked as a consultant paediatric oncologist at Great Ormond St hospital (Dr Levitt) for over 30 years as well as being involved in both Government and EU cancer service research. Palliative care has always been an important element of complete patient care and when asked to become a Trustee after my retirement from clinical work, it seemed the ideal opportunity to assist such important work for the local community.

Elspeth Dixon
Elspeth joined the board of Trustees back in 2019 having retired as a Registered nurse within the Rosemary Foundation after 12 years of service. Elspeth was ready to retire from her profession but was not quite ready to stop working for such a wonderful charity.
