Anglicare Sydney has appointed Ramsay Health Care’s former national clinical governance manager Glenna Parker as its chief clinical officer.
In her new role, Ms Parker will be responsible for quality and clinical governance across the Anglicare Sydney’s operations.
Anglicare Sydney CEO Grant Millard says Ms Parker’s expertise will be a valuable addition for Anglicare, as the government works to implement the recommendations of the aged care royal commission, and a new aged care act in the pipeline.
“Ms Parker’s appointment means Anglicare’s residents, clients, staff, and families can have assurance that someone with strong clinical rigour, deep knowledge of health and aged care issues, and a thorough understanding of the regulatory process will be serving them,” he said.
Ms Parker has previously worked as a nurse assessor for the Victorian health department and has been consulting as an assessor with the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission for the last four years.
