Terry Simpson

Senior Clinical Delivery Manager in Mental Health

Terry Simpson, who currently works in an urgent and emergency mental health care NHS strategic transformation role, began his career as a mental health nurse 22 years ago. Working nationally across the ambulance sector, Terry was previously a Mental Health Lead at South Central Ambulance Service NHS Trust. With a background in adult mental health and crisis resolution teams, Terry also has extensive experience in education, patient care and improving ambulance mental health crisis response plans. Terry joined the ambulance service wanting to improve patient experience, pathways, collaboration and joined-up services for patients presenting in crisis. He feels passionately that anyone in mental health crisis should have equal access to urgent and emergency care in a way comparable to any medical life-threatening emergency. Terry believes it is crucial to recognise that, like physical health, we all have mental health and consequently mental health is everybody’s consideration.
