Annwyn Noble – Care Consultant

Annwyn began her nursing career in 1985 and qualified in both adult and learning disability nursing. Her experience spans older people’s care, community services and support for adults with complex learning and physical disabilities. Having worked as a care home manager and regional manager, she understands the practical responsibilities of leading services and supporting teams to deliver person-centred care.

Annwyn spent more than 14 years in Scottish care regulation, undertaking registration, inspection, complaints and enforcement work. Her final five years were spent in the National Complaints Team, developing substantial experience in investigating concerns and assessing care against regulatory requirements. She later held senior operational and quality roles at Holmes Care Group, progressing to Director of Care Quality and Clinical Governance, with responsibilities including provider assurance, inspection preparation, policy development and critical incident reviews.

At Fulcrum Care, Annwyn draws on her nursing, regulatory and management experience to deliver mock inspections, due diligence reviews and quality assurance audits. She supports teams with practical guidance across care planning, medicines, safeguarding and clinical practice, helping providers respond to findings and develop clear improvement plans. Her approachable, collaborative style helps managers and staff understand what needs attention and build the skills to improve care.
