Still pinching myself! 🥂
I am beyond honoured to be named the National Social Care Nurse Winner at the Great British Care Awards. To receive this recognition so early in my career is deeply humbling, but while I’m holding the trophy, this win belongs to my incredible team at Swanton Care. Your support has been the foundation of everything I’ve achieved.
Why I Do What I Do?
My mission is to bridge the gap between primary and secondary care. Social care nursing must be recognised as a collaborative responsibility. While the systemic issues are vast, I believe in the power of the “ripple effect” doing the small things faithfully until droplets turn into a river of change. I chose nursing to make a positive impact; if I can transform even one life, every challenge is worth it.
Gratitude & Faith
To my colleagues, mentors, family, and friends: thank you for pouring into me. Most importantly, I thank my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, my strength and my friend. To know Him is to know the beauty of life itself.
If you need a bit of Inspiration
I also want to shout out my mentor, Victor Owusu Bonsu. His book, The Girls in Room 314, was pivotal for me. As a neurodiverse clinician, it helped me look beyond personal fears and systemic failures to focus on what truly matters: holistic, genuine care for every service user. It has fundamentally changed my practice for the better.
Still absolutely gobsmacked! 🏆✨
