Catherine Heaney

Change Leader

Frimley Park Hospital

Cath has been working in the NHS for 12 years, after graduating from the University of London with an honours degree in Psychology. She is an experienced change leader, with NHS roles spanning both community and hospital-based healthcare settings. In her role at Frimley, Cath takes a lead role in Organisation Development and works closely with service managers and clinicians to enable them to make change happen. Her passion is facilitation, especially working with multidisciplinary groups, and her approach is collaborative and inclusive. Cath co-developed the “T4CP” training course for staff at Frimley to support them to deliver their own improvement projects, through a mix of facilitation, mentoring and coaching. This is something she finds particularly rewarding about her role. Outside of work, Cath enjoys having fun with her 5-year-old daughter Grace and amongst their favourite activities are dancing, reading and visiting the seaside, whatever the weather!

more detail about the projects and their leaders.
