Debbie Brown - MBE

2024 New Year's Honours List

 

Many congratulations to Debbie Brown, SELWDH's Director of Nursing and our very own incredible Clinical Director, for her well-deserved spot on the 2024 MBE Honours List. 

 

This is an enormous and much deserved achievement in recognition of Debbie's outstanding service to general practice nursing.

 

Debbie is an experienced nurse of over 47 years, almost 30 of which have been spent in primary care, within general practice as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner.

 

Debbie founded Lewisham CEPN Training Hub in 2017 to provide a range of training and development opportunities for all staff groups.

 

Debbie was born and raised in Lewisham, trained at Lewisham Hospital, continues to work in Lewisham and is passionate about the borough and the people who live and work here.

 

Debbie is shown on the right, following receiving her MBE from Princess Anne on Wednesday 17th April 2024.
