CLINICAL DIRECTOR
CMACE has appointed Dr Imogen Stephens as its Clinical Director, commencing in June 2010. In this role, she will be managing the medical input to CMACE's work. Imogen trained in obstetrics and gynaecology before specialising in public health medicine. She was Director of Public Health for Western Sussex PCT from 2002 to 2007 and until recently she was Expert Advisor to the NIHR Public Health Research programme. The Clinical Director role at CMACE is part-time and she will be combining this role with her other post as Public Health consultant with the SE Regional Public Health group. CMACE is confident that Imogen's combination of training and experience in both public health and obstetrics and gynaecology will be uniquely valuable for fulfilling the role of CMACE Clinical Director for national confidential enquiries into maternal and child health and related enquiry and research activities.
