Natali Chung - Co-Clinical Director
Having enjoyed the breadth and diversity of patients, colleagues and cardiology over the last two decades of working in CHD services, I am delighted that my role as a clinical director in the LCHDN will allow me to experience this even more in my day to day work.
I look forward to building new relationships with those centres and colleagues who are new to me as we all work together, driven by a shared vision of the best patient centred CHD network possible for all.

I look forward to working with all the members of our network to listen to their needs and working together to obtain excellence for all.

I have over ten years experience of working for Cardiac services in different NHS Trusts.

Ilin Hayter - Business Support Manager
I have worked within Paediatric Cardiology, Specialist Networks and the CHD Network over the last 10 years. This puts me in a good place to support the needs of the Network Management Team. I believe that there is an element of networking in every job we do. I like knowing we are all pieces of the same jigsaw puzzle and we all have our part to play.
