From our very first nurse, Nurse Ferguson, to 16,000+ employees across Australia today, on this Aged Care Employee Day we recognise the dedication and resilience that has been a hallmark of our teams for more than a century. It’s timely that today also marks one of our more recent milestones – the day we came together as Bolton Clarke in 2017, honouring early community leaders Brigadier William Kinsey Bolton and Lady Janet Clarke.
A very big Aged Care Employee Day thank you to all the Bolton Clarke teams for 140 years of caring.

It's National Diabetes Week this week and to mark the occasion, Bolton Clarke Research Institute Senior Research Fellow Dr Rajna Ogrin has been chatting with Diabetes Victoria about foot health.
If you have diabetes, taking care of your feet is really important. High blood sugar can affect your nerves and blood flow, which means you might not feel injuries and they may take longer to heal. This can lead to serious problems like ulcers or even amputations—but the good news is most of these can be prevented!
Top tips for keeping your feet healthy include:
* Check your feet every day – Look for cuts, blisters, redness, or swelling. Use a mirror or ask someone to help if you can’t see well.
* Wash and dry your feet daily – Especially between your toes. Keep your skin soft with moisturiser (but not between the toes).
* Trim your nails carefully – Or ask a podiatrist to help.
* Wear comfortable shoes and socks – Avoid tight shoes or seams that rub.
* Never walk barefoot – Even at home.
* See a podiatrist regularly – They can spot problems early and help you manage them.
* Get help quickly – If you notice anything unusual, don’t wait.

On 28 June 1880, Victorian police captured Ned Kelly after the siege at Glenrowan. Five years later, we had our beginnings when Lady Janet Clarke was among prominent Victorians who came together to establish Australia's first home nursing service. Watch this video from the State Library of Victoria to learn about the incredible woman, our namesake, who connects these two events.

How did Ned Kelly’s armour end up on display in the mansion of Janet Lady Clarke … the influential Melbourne woman behind The Ashes? If you require a descrip...
