Heartbeat: Wave goodbye to… Olwen Dutton

June 17, 2019

Olwen Dutton has paid tribute to colleagues as her role as deputy chair came to an end in May.

Joining the Trust’s board in 2010, Olwen has been a familiar face around our workplace. She said: “I have enjoyed every moment of my time here and I am overwhelmed by the dedication shown by the staff to the patients.

“One of the things I’ve really enjoyed has been working on the quality agenda. I have been chairing the quality and safety committee for some years now and it’s been tremendous.

“What I have really witnessed over those nine years is a change in focus, so that we put the quality and care that we give our patients at the heart of what we do – and I’m sure that the Trust will continue to do that.”

Olwen is currently a partner with Birmingham–based Anthony Collins Solicitors LLP, and specialises in local government and other public sector work.

During her time at SWB Olwen’s responsibilities included chair of the Quality and Safety Committee and member of the Audit Committee.

Olwen added: “I am sorry to be leaving, but it’s a great place and everyone who works here really deserves my congratulations for the dedication that they give on a daily basis.”
