Abbie Cliffe

Clinical Lead for Cavalry Healthcare

I am the Clinical Lead for Cavalry Healthcare, overseeing the clinical care provided across our Care Services Division.

I’m a paediatric nurse, and I spent the first part of my career in paediatric intensive care before moving into complex care in the community in 2020. We support children and adults with complex health needs to stay well at home, where they belong.

My role is to ensure we are delivering high level clinical care, but I’m also very passionate about ensuring we support our service users in their day-to-day activities, meeting their needs as an individual and not just their clinical needs.
