Jo Lenton

  • Chief Executive and Chief Nurse

Jo qualified as a Nurse from the Sheffield School of Nursing in 1992, with a Diploma in nursing studies. She began her nursing career working on a general surgical ward. Many of the patients were undergoing surgery for a cancer diagnosis and this is where Jo first developed her interest in the area of palliative care. In 2002, Jo moved into District Nursing before joining St Luke’s in 2008. As part of her role, she piloted a rapid response service dealing with urgent requests, providing same day face-to-face assessment and interventions to patients in urgent need. Jo has completed an Advanced Physical Assessment Course (APAC) and has a MSc in Voluntary Sector Leadership from Bayes University London. 

In her role as Chief Executive, Jo is looking forward to taking St Luke’s into many new areas of support for our patients, developing vital palliative care research programmes and strengthening services for future generations.
