• She serves as Deputy Director at the Centre for Perioperative Care and contributes to national policy discussions on health, workforce culture, and clinical efficiency.

During the day Scarlett is a force to be reckoned with prefessionally, and by night is no different, training with the Red Lion SKC in Eastbourne.
