Emma always takes time to make sure our reporting system is filled in fully when she’s been working with one of our pupils. She is an amazing teacher and always leaves clear and insightful comments about the pupils and their work for when you return.
If I’m stuck and unsure how to do something I can generally rely on Richard to point me in the right direction and not only that, he will show me how to do it properly. There to talk to if needed and regularly goes above and beyond his call of duty.
Aishat is a brilliant person to work with. She is emotionally connected with those around her and very intuitive. When she is on shift, I know that we are in safe hands. She deserves as much support as this company can give her.
Dr Nwuba has worked hard to play a pivotal role in developing the ward’s Service Development and chairing the monthly group meeting. He’s made innovative suggestions on how we can develop the service in line with our new model of care. Well done!
Natalia is so keen to learn that she has taken courses both arranged by site and independently. She has grown in confidence from a shy introverted member of the team to a confident contributor the senior management of the hospital.
Communicates with SUs very well and liaises with the corresponding staff to support their needs further.
Katie manages challenging behaviours very well and seems to look for the needs and wants of the SUs in supporting them through difficult times.
Sandie has been working off site since the pandemic and has been quite isolated from the team physically. Despite her own fair share of challenges, she has offered such kind words of encouragement and advice when I have felt lost this year.
Shanice has taken on the role as Acting Head OT and has been extremely dedicated to shaping the team during a very difficult time. Staffing was very low and COVID-19 restricted a number of activities. The demands on her have been high.
Nikki has been running the timetable/one to ones for the ward on her own for several months whilst I have not been ward based. Although she recognises this has been tough, she has always remained positive.
Dr Haq supports the growth of his colleagues. He organises the monthly CPD programme, and is always willing to discuss/ explain cases/ diagnoses which educate those around him.
I know that if I want to know more about anything that I can always ask!
Gary, our nurse on Swift Ward volunteered his own time to come in and take professional photographs of staff and service users in our Christmas Fayre.
Gary stayed throughout the afternoon capturing shots of the photo booth and various festivities.
Clare has arranged for service user from Redlands and River View to work with the local scout group to make Christmas wreaths. She has supported the service user outside of her working hours to ensure the activity went well for all parties.
