Another award celebration!

A huge congratulations to Heather Fletcher – Complex Care Nurse - Liverpool for winning the Gold Award for Adult Social Care Nursing!

Heather won this award as part of the Chief Nurse Awards which recognises the significant contribution of nurses, midwives and social workers in England. Heather reflected on winning the award below…

“I was thrilled to receive the Gold Award for Adult Social Care Nursing.

October marks National Cholesterol Month! Lets talk about the silent risk…

❌Myth: “I feel fine so my cholesterol must be fine”
✅Fact: High Cholesterol can show no symptoms at all – but can lead to heart attacks or strokes.

There is no better time to get you cholesterol checked. Have you had your cholesterol tested and checked in the last 5 years?

Three things you can do today…

🗓️ Schedule a cholesterol screening
🍔Swap processed snacks for nuts or fruit – its important to cut back on trans fats and ultra processed foods. What are some examples of ultra processed foods? – click the following link to find out https://ow.ly/jv1k50X9Tww
🥬Add fibre – oats, beans and veggies are cholesterols worst enemy!

🔁 Share this with someone who might need a nudge to get checked.

Your heart will thank you later 💗

World Mental Health Day – October 10th 🌏🧠

Mental Health affects everything from how we think to how we feel – and yet it is often overlooked. Today is all about changing that so mental health is spoken about more.

Want to improve your general mental health? Here are some tips below…

✨Keep active
Physical activity has shown to be effective in reducing stress and anxiety.

✨Sleep well
Poor sleep can lead to feelings of depression and anxiety.

✨Drink sensibly
In the long run, alcohol can make you feel worse so stick to recommended low risk guidelines.

✨Connect with others
Just by having someone to talk to can give us a sense of belonging.

Let’s make Mental Health a priority – not just today, but everyday 💜

Hip hip hooray!

We recently celebrated our winners of the Chief Nurse Awards which included the wonderful Wakefield branch!

The Wakefield team were delighted to receive the Chief Adult Social Care Team Award. They reflected on winning the award below…

“As the Wakefield team, we are so proud and honoured to have received the Chief Nurse for Adult Social Care ‘Team Award’. This recognition has truly touched our hearts. It gave us a moment to stop, reflect, and really feel the power of togetherness that runs through our team every single day.

Winning this award has shown us that the culture we strive to cascade out to our wider care colleagues is not only felt but seen. We always say, “together we are one,” and this award reminded us of just that, the unity, support, and strength that comes when we work side by side.

For us, it is not just about the award itself, but about the impact it represents, the reassurance that the values we live by are making a real difference to those we support and to each other. It has fuelled our pride, strengthened our bonds, and given us even more drive as we look forward to the future and everything yet to come.

What an achievement - one that will stay with us always”.

Congratulations again on this amazing achievement.
