Her work in the UK has been instrumental in raising awareness and legitimizing paediatric emergence delirium as a measurable and clinically significant postoperative complication, leading to improved education, standardized screening, and the development of structured clinical pathways.
As a 2024 Horizon Fellow, she led a Quality Improvement project implementing the Cornell Assessment of Paediatric Delirium (CAPD) as a vital sign in PACU, and was awarded the Clinical Audit Heroes Award by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership.
She was shortlisted for the Nursing Times Awards and the Nursing Workforce Awards in the UK for her contribution to perioperative care innovation and nursing leadership, while her work on the implementation of CAPD has been well received with positive feedback from healthcare professionals at local and national conferences.
In 2025, Isabel was awarded the Dragon’s Den Prize by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, securing funding to develop a national e‑learning module on paediatric emergence delirium. Drawing on this experience, she co‑founded Kids Health+, a medical innovation and technology company empowering healthcare professionals to transform frontline ideas into scalable solutions with real‑world impact.
