Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust has successfully appointed Jacqui Burrow to the role of joint chief nurse.

Jacqui is currently deputy chief nurse at the Northern Care Alliance and will bring years of nursing experience with her when she joins our organisation.

Initially, Jacqui will become chief nurse at TGICFT before taking on the same responsibilities at Stockport in 2026 when current joint chief nurse, Nicola Firth, retires.

Jacqui began her nursing career at Manchester Royal Infirmary, training as a registered general nurse, before working within the accident and emergency department.

In 2000, Jacqui embarked on a different path and trained as a health visitor, working across East Lancashire. She began working at the Northern Care Alliance in 2014, moving into strategic nursing and quality roles.

Jacqui has a particular interest in the development of new models of working both within nursing and partner agencies. As a result, she is committed to the integration of community and acute services and believes nursing, midwifery and allied health professionals have the knowledge and skills to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of integrated care.
