Congratulations to Miss Susi Penney on being included in the 2025 Northern Leaders List
We are proud to announce that Susi Penney, Medical Director at the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance, has been named on the 2025 Northern Leaders List which celebrates those making the greatest positive impact across the North.
Inspired by Sir Howard Bernstein, the late former chief executive of Manchester City Council and a key figure in Manchester’s regeneration, this list highlights outstanding regional leadership.
Susi, who has been a consultant head, neck and thyroid surgeon at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust since 2012, also served as Associate Medical Director for the Cancer Alliance from 2018 prior to accepting the post of Medical Director in the Summer of 2024.
Susi said: “I’m truly honoured to be included on this list. Recognition like this helps to highlight the vital work being done to improve outcomes and experiences for people with cancer in Greater Manchester and drives us to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives. This recognition is not just for me but for all my cancer alliance colleagues and those who work with us collaboratively in Greater Manchester and beyond”.
