Jacqui Rogers

Jacqui qualified as a Registered General Nurse in 1990, a Registered Midwife in 1992, and as a Health Visitor with a degree in public health in 2001. Jacqui has always worked in and around caring for women and children, and implementation of the Public Health agenda. Jacqui has held several roles in the last 26 years as a Team midwife, a Children’s Centre Midwife, a health visitor, and a Matron in Maternity services.

After completing a master’s degree in Business Management in the Public Sector in 2013, she changed her career pathway to experience some time in general management as a Service Manager, trying to influence change.

Missing patient contact after 5 years, she returned to a Nursing role as Transition Lead Nurse at Alder Hey NHS Children’s Foundation Trust, leading with Dr Lynda Brook the strategic development, planning and implementation of the 10 steps Transition Pathway and transition toolkit on behalf of the organisation.

Jacqui and Dr Lynda Brook have led a programme of work across the region, working with local CCG commissioners, NHSE specialist commissioners, adult acute and community services.

This work has led to Alder Hey with adult acute and community services jointly developing a ‘standard operating procedure’ based on the 10 steps transition pathway, and development of a dedicated transition service for young people with complex neuro-disability and severe learning disabilities.

Jacqui has presented Alder Hey’s 10 Steps Transition Pathway and toolkit nationally, resulting in several areas across the country adopting the 10 Steps Transition Pathway. Jacqui delivers multi-agency Transition training regularly. In 2016 she founded and chairs the Northwest Region Multi Agency Transition Network.

In 2020 Jacqui set up a Continuing Health Care (CHC) network meeting; with the aim of standardising the process across Cheshire and Merseyside. This was later joined by NHSE/I who offered support and leadership at a senior level. The group has completed the development of guidelines for those who may be eligible for NHS CHC.

Jacqui has great passion and insight into this role both professionally and on a personal level, as two of her four children have long term conditions, one of which is a complex young person. Both and will require Transition to adult services and lifelong care.
