Hillery has extensive experience in leading clinical strategy, service transformation, governance and organisational growth, with previous leadership roles including president of The British Association of Urological Nurses, executive board member for European Association of Urology Nurses and over 25 years of urological nursing in the NHS. 

She commented: ‘I was eager to join a company that shares my commitment to urological nursing and helping the NHS, and Vyne's values are deeply aligned with my own. Having experienced the challenges of disjointed legacy systems, I know how vital a modern solution is for both clinicians and patients. My focus now is to ensure nurses are empowered, giving them the tools to deliver excellent aftercare and ensuring that no patient is left without support after discharge.'

Alex Higgins, co-founder at Vyne, said: ‘This is a pivotal moment for Vyne. Sarah's appointment brings vital, industry-leading expertise to our platform, which is rapidly becoming the solution of choice for healthcare providers nationwide. As we expand our partnerships, Sarah's insight into the real-world challenges facing clinical teams will be invaluable. Her guidance ensures we continue to evolve our platform to deliver the simple, green, and digital aftercare that patients deserve.'
