One of our nursing healthcare support workers has been awarded a prestigious Chief Nursing Officer for England award in recognition of her hard work and dedication.
The award celebrates enduring compassion and recognises the vital contribution of healthcare support workers in England and their exceptional supporting of nursing practice.
Our delighted award winner was Clare Webster, who works on ward 23 at Scunthorpe hospital. Their former Deputy Ward Manager Jennifer Ese nominated them for the awards.
Clare joined the ward in March 2018 as a Patient Care Navigator. Her nomination read: “She is very supportive on shift in her role, as well as helping out the staff looking after patients with daily personal care, taking bloods, cannulating and catheterisation.
“She takes the initiative and has come up with plans which have helped improve on patient safety and facilitation of safe discharges. Everyone on the ward, including the nurses in charge, can attest to how supportive Clare has been as she gets everything done within the wink of an eye.”
Group Acting Chief Executive, Amanda Stanford, said: “I am extremely proud of Clare for her unwavering hard work and dedication. She is a shining example of the many healthcare support workers we have across our services, who provide essential hands-on care for our patients, as well as supporting our nursing, clinical, and allied health professional teams.
“This award is testament to her hard work, professionalism and dedication.”
Victoria Bagshaw, Deputy Director Nursing for Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professionals for North East and Yorkshire NHS England, presented the award to Clare.
