Before coming to Canford Healthcare she ran a construction health and safety training company, worked as a practice manager within a large NHS GP surgery and managed the commercial activities of a religious site.

As Health & Safety Manager for Canford Healthcare Wendy works closely with colleagues across the homes and support offices to ensure that all environments are safe and healthy for our residents, employees and visitors.
