Sarah Bone is Deputy Matron for Critical Care Services at Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust, which is one of the largest teaching Trusts in England.
Since her nursing career began in 2003, Sarah has worked clinically within the realms of Intensive Care. She specialised in Neuro Critical Care and completed her neuro course and specialist ITU course qualifications, nursing various patients, including those injured in the Afghanistan war.
In 2019, Sarah moved to Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals as a team leader in ITU. Two years later in 2021, she was promoted to Deputy Matron.
Sarah is passionate about driving change where patients are at the heart of everything as well as promoting staff well-being in a holistic and compassionate manner.

Currently, Sarah is working with the group director of nursing for medicine to apply the Department of Health’s mouthcare matters initiative into intensive care. Her Trust has been working with this scheme over the last 12 months and Sarah developed an assessment tool which she is working towards being implemented in critical care and the wider Trust.
