Mrs Vivienne Priestley

I began my career at North Tees Hospital when Nurse Training was supported by the hospital in 1988. I have remained committed to what is now North Tees and Hartlepool NHS foundation Trust since. My interest and passion was always in regards to Emergency Care, gaining both adult and children’s nurse qualifications and working in the Emergency Department through various promotional positions. In 2017 I was appointed the Service Lead for Urgent and Emergency Care. At this time we mobilised an Urgent Care Centre contract across both our main site and a satellite site. I began to oversee all the urgent and emergency care pathways working closely with colleagues to ensure our local population was provided with an effective service that met their requirements
