Gina joins Glenside Hospital

Glenside Care has strengthened its team with the appointment of Gina Sargeant as Operations Director.

Gina, previously a clincial neuro physiotherapist specialist, will ensure the smooth running of the hospital, liaising with the MDT (Multi Disciplinary Team), managers and patients and their families.

She joins from Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases NHS FT in Bath, where she was general manager of neuro rehabilitation services. Having also led a team of physiotherapists across five acute neurosurgery wards in her role at North Bristol NHS Trust, she is well-placed for her role at Glenside.

Andrew Norman, CEO, said: “Gina is well known for placing the patient at the centre of what she does, which ties into our ethos and makes her the perfect addition to our team. She has a great deal of experience in developing services and empowering staff to perform at their best and her background in physiotherapy and neuro rehabilitation will be invaluable.”

Gina added: “I am excited to join Glenside Care, which has a fantastic reputation as one of the leading independent providers of neuro rehabilitation in the UK. I am particularly looking forward to working in such a well-equipped environment with such a knowledgable interdisciplinary. The facilities are some of the best I have seen during my career with the uniqueness of supporting very individual pathways along the Glenside serivces from hospital to rehab homes and bunglaows and then back into the community.”
