Sorrento Consultancy Services
Meet the team
Gemma McIntyre
Hello! I’m Gemma, founder and director of Sorrento Consultancy Services. I’m a midwife with 14 years’ experience and more than 20 years’ experience working with bereaved families.
My career has included clinical and specialist midwifery, system-level leadership, more than five years conducting maternity safety investigations and supporting families following serious maternity incidents, alongside my independent expert witness practice.
Through Sorrento, I bring this experience together across expert witness work, consultancy and investigations, education and training, with a particular focus on maternity safety, learning and improving care.
Hello! I’m Lily, and I provide administrative and business support for Sorrento Consultancy Services.
I work alongside Gemma to help with the day-to-day organisation of the business, including administration, managing enquiries and supporting business development.
I joined Sorrento in 2026 alongside my studies, and I’m developing my experience in business administration, communication and professional services. I enjoy helping to keep everything organised behind the scenes and making sure enquiries are dealt with promptly and professionally.
