Helen Hodges

Profile

Helen originally specialised in cardiology, working as a CCU Sister before moving into service development. She went on to lead projects in pre-hospital care, cardiac rehabilitation, heart failure diagnosis, and wider community services, with a strong focus on reducing the need for hospital admissions.

Her career has included clinical commissioning as Assistant Director for Long Term Conditions in West Essex, where she introduced new community-based services and specialist nursing posts, and later senior roles with Marie Curie as Clinical Area Manager and Head of Practice Development, leading staff development in areas such as dementia care and communication skills.

At Makewell and ECG Healthcare, Helen combines her background in service improvement with her passion for high-quality, compassionate care. She believes that client experience is as important as clinical outcomes – and that every detail matters.
