Daryl is an associate Clinical Director with Norfolk Community Health & Care, the main provider of community care in Norfolk & Waveney. The role entails providing senior medical care for this group of frail in-patients and support for the large ACP (advanced clinical practitioner team). For the last 18 months Daryl has been the lead Medical Clinician supporting the Step Up Virtual wards; a service run across the Norfolk and Waveney footprint caring for patients with a variety of illness from elderly patients with complex frailty, patients with heart failure requiring IV and high dose oral diuretics at home and patients with complex respiratory conditions ( and many who have a combination of all of the above).

Following the formation of the ICB and its Clinical Work-streams Daryl was the ICB Respiratory Clinical Adviser, for 3 years. During that time the development of new guidelines were supported and their uptake across the patch implemented. New ways of providing patients with COPD care were designed and a new respiratory clinic in a Community Hospital was trialled with a colleague from the Acute Trust Sadly the post has been amalgamated into general chronic disease and providing respiratory care in Norfolk and Waveney will depend on using the skills and links developed during the time the post was active.

Daryl is a director for the UK Lung Cancer Coalition and spoke at their conference in 2025.

Daryl loves country life and is a keen walker and horsewoman and lives in rural Norfolk with her 2 dogs, 2 horses and long-suffering advanced paramedic partner.
