The Clinical Senate Assembly is a diverse multi-professional forum providing the Council with ready access to experts from a broad range of health and care professions and patient representatives.
Made up of a diverse pool of experienced clinicians in the widest sense, it gives the Council access to a wealth of clinical expertise and experience. Between them, members cover the entire ‘pre-conception to death’ spectrum of care across all health and social care settings. Members also include public representatives.
The Senate Assembly’s diverse membership ensures the Senate is fully equipped to respond effectively to the many and wide-ranging requests for advice from commissioners and other stakeholders who contact us.

May Bullen - Former Patient and Public Partner, South East Clinical Senate
I spent over 45 years working as a nurse in the NHS. My experience covered general nursing and specialist areas both in hospitals and the community. Specialist areas included intensive Care, Coronary Care, Oncology and Health Visiting. I was a Macmillan Nurse and later spent several years working directly for Macmillan Cancer Support developing services across the South East of England. I was a Director in a Primary Care Trust before retiring from the NHS and undertaking a number of Consultancy projects ranging from small local ones to large national ones. I have in recent years had a lay role with the Care Quality Commission and been involved in inspecting hospitals and care homes.
One of the driving forces throughout my career has been to improve the patient and family experience of living with health and health care challenges. Many of my posts involved enabling patients, families and carers to express their experiences and ensuring that the patient and family are considered and have a voice in care and service development. Over the years I have been a member of numerous Regional and National NHS / Charity Committees.
