Within the last couple of months Sandra took on the challenge to be the champion for environment and sustainability for Langdale House.
Without any guidance or support Sandra has made this project into a massive success for Langdale. Educating her peers and service users who have been contributing and making lots of effort to make a difference!
Thresa is so supportive and extends help whenever possible. She recently co-facilitated a reflective practice to support staff & was very understanding as they were struggling to contact one of the YP’s parents & Thresa supported them with creating a script & a planner that really helped the support staff to establish family contact for the YP.
A patient was recently admitted who had not attended to his own personal hygiene for a prolonged period of time. Emma took her time with the individual to build a rapport, completing small tasks of personal care such as washing face, hands, feet.
Today Emma has managed to encourage the individual to shower for the first time in over one year!
Dale has supported a number of our services to improve with robust inspections and fair, realistic targets whilst also being friendly and personable. This takes a lot of pressure off us as managers and ultimately helps to ensure we’re providing the best level of care. Thank you Dale!
Joseph has a keen interest in music and plays a multitude of instruments. Joseph began completing music therapy sessions with one individual at Norcott Lodge, sparking interests in their own musical hobbies. This has had a life changing impact on the individuals mental health and well-being and I wanted to credit Joseph for his efforts.
Melissa has recently communicated excellent clinical standards in patient records setting the bar for achieving clinical excellence in this area. Working at times as the sole nurse on the ward, Melissa has not let this prevent upholding high standards of clinical record keeping and is setting a wonderful example to colleagues.
Bethan has increased greatly in confidence since joining Dene Brook, establishing strong relationships with multiple residents and handling challenging incidents incredibly well, never allowing it to affect her confidence and always jumping in to help where she can.
