2016 Shropshire Care Awards winners
The cream of the county’s care profession has been recognised at a glittering ceremony to celebrate the 2016 Shropshire Care Awards.
Ten winners of categories including employee of the year, team of the year and learner of the year were announced at the event at the Park Inn, Telford, attended by more than 140 people.
The Care Awards is organised by Shropshire Partners in Care (SPIC), a not for profit organisation that represents more than 200 independent nursing, residential and domiciliary care companies.
Its aim is to reward care workers and providers who are providing an exceptional level of care and proactively working to improve care in the industry.
Nicky Jacques, Chief Officer of Shropshire Partners in Care said: “It was a fantastic evening and a delight to recognise the commitment of so many people and organisations working in the care sector.
“The industry can often get a bad press but this was a heartwarming event that proved so many people are dedicated to providing an excellent standard of care each and every day for the elderly and most vulnerable people in our communities. Everyone who was nominated, and the winners, should be justifiably proud of themselves.”
The guest speaker at the event was sporting champion Kelda Woods. Kelda is currently ranked GB number 2 in the Women’s K1 200m KL3 and is aiming for selection in the Paracanoe team for Rio 2016.
