Leadership Appointments Strengthen the Future of the Neuro Therapy Network

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Mark Suddes as the new Chair of the Neuro Therapy Network (NTN), alongside Caz Blake-Symes, who has been appointed Vice Chair.

Mark has been the Centre Manager at the Suffolk Oxygen Therapy Centre in Ipswich since 2022 and an NTN Trustee since 2024. Caz has been a Volunteer and Trustee at The Brightwell, based in Bristol, since 2010 and joined the NTN Board in  February 2025. Caz also lives with Secondary Progressive MS.

Mark and Caz bring a wealth of experience, commitment, and passion for supporting neurological rehabilitation through hyperbaric oxygen therapy, physiotherapy, and the wider network of neuro therapy centres across the UK. Their combined leadership marks an exciting new chapter for the charity as it continues to champion collaboration, innovation, and excellence within the sector.

As they begin their new roles, Mark and Caz have identified collaboration and communication as their immediate priorities. Their short-term focus will be on strengthening connections between member centres, encouraging the sharing of knowledge and best practice, and ensuring open, transparent communication across the network.

By working more closely together, the Neuro Therapy Network aims to build on the expertise that already exists within its membership, creating greater opportunities to support centres, improve services, and ultimately enhance outcomes for the people who rely on them.

Speaking about the appointments, Mark said:"The Neuro Therapy Network has an incredible opportunity to bring centres together to learn from one another and speak with a stronger collective voice. By improving collaboration and communication, we can build a more connected and resilient network that benefits our members and the communities they serve."

Vice Chair Caz Blake-Symes added:"I'm excited to work alongside Mark and the Board to strengthen relationships across the Network. Listening to our members, sharing ideas, and working collaboratively will help us shape a positive future for the charity."

We congratulate both Mark and Caz on their appointments and look forward to working with them as they lead the Neuro Therapy Network into its next chapter.

The Neuro Therapy Network includes 47 Centres across the UK, plus Centres in Jersey and Gibraltar.
