Jane Dickson
Interim Chief Nursing Officer
Jane Dickson joined the Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as Interim Chief Nursing Officer in June 2024.
She previously worked at Board level as Chief Nurse at East Kent Hospitals, and prior to that at Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.
Earlier in her nursing career Jane specialised in intensive care nursing, and has spent a significant portion of her working life in the highly regulated environment of NHS Blood and Transplant, leading organ donation services and latterly blood donation.
Improving services and access to services, whilst at the same time supporting the teams who deliver that care has been at the heart of her career with people always at the centre of her approach.
To support her own development Jane studied Health Care ethics at Kings College and has also completed an MSc in leadership.
In her spare time Jane enjoys hill walking and gardening.
