About Linda Sayburn

As the recipient of the 2021 Hospital Super Heroes Chairman’s Outstanding Achievement Award, Linda is no stranger to accolades. Though she is an experienced biomedical scientist specializing in microbiology, Linda’s colleagues believe that compassionate leadership is her greatest skill. As Pathology Operations Director, she led the establishment of COVID-19 testing in her region and successfully balanced the need to maintain existing services with the rapid development of new ones. Today she is valued as a supportive leader and a driver of equality in pathology – and sees herself as “a great believer in developing people and giving them opportunities.”
