We would like to say a HUGE congratulations to a member of the Southcare family - Maddie Browne! Maddie WAS our Senior Healthcare Assistant at Freshford Cottage but... we're proud to announce that on Friday 13th February, Maddie graduated as a qualified Registered Nurse!
Instead of attending her graduation in person, though, Maddie chose to spend time helping residents at our Rottingdean Nursing Home - Highbury House!
We could not let the day go unmarked and welcomed her to the nursing family by hosting our very own little graduation ceremony. Diana Midoschi, Home Manager at Freshford Cottage, came over from Seaford with cards and flowers and a bottle of bubbly! Chris Barber, Home Manager at Highbury House, presented a cut glass rose bowl from Southcare Homes, and Karim Nanji, Proprietor of Southcare Homes, was present to congratulate her on her achievement.
Maddie is our first nurse on the Associate Nurse Programme established in 2025 for newly qualified nurses. It helps them to establish and enhance their skills in adult social care. All of us in the Southcare family are so proud of this innovation and also very proud of Maddie!
