Jackie Horstead – Public Governor, Suffolk

Term of office started 1 February 2023  

I recently retired and have lived and worked in Suffolk for the last 24 years. I have IT, planning and organisational skills across the financial and utilities sectors.

I have also worked for 18 years across the Suffolk health sector in the NHS and local government. This gave me the experience of analysing and improving processes and working procedures.

As a carer, I have encountered some excellent mental health professionals. The process of getting help was, and continues to be, very challenging.

As Governor, I will play my part to ensure the Trust improves the quality of services for the people of Suffolk.
