I started early October as an RMN. Starting somewhere as a new staff can be stressful at times, but Katie always went out her way to make me feel welcomed, and always had a nice word to comfort me. Thank you Katie!
A service user Cath supports is going into hospital tomorrow for a procedure and the service user was scared and very upset. Cath made sure the service user knew everything that was going to happen and also comforted them so they feel ok about it.
Stacey continually works above and beyond her role at Alders Clinic. She provides support to patients, has helped in the kitchen and nothing is ever too much.

Cynthia is super woman! and a real gem. She’s always running around here and there for the residents and the staff, she has become a good friend to many and I just would like to let her know how much we all appreciate her at Outwood. Thankyou Cynthia
Recently we had difficult staffing situation. Andrew is always ready to the rescue: stay longer after night shift, organise staff cover while working on the floor. Andrew pick’s up the toughest jobs, if he sees that work colleague is struggling. Loud and funny!

James attended a training course I delivered in Colchester. My taxi back to the rail station did not arrive and James insisted on driving me there even though he was going in the opposite direction. This ensured I made my connection to Leeds.
