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.
