“Working in the care sector isn’t all about, toileting, feeding and changing catheters, we do this, but we also make someone feel better whilst we are there.

We can turn a day around by helping someone wash their hair, and a gentle shave for the gentleman with a splash of his favourite aftershave or move the position of their bed so that they can see the beautiful sunset that the autumn brings.

Working in the care industry has so many rewards and I could go on and on about all the ways that staff at Platinum care Solutions make the lives of those in our care better but there really isn’t the editorial space…….

Glitz and glamour isn’t something that is necessarily associated with a role in the care sector, however each year, members of the public, colleagues and co-workers have an opportunity to state in writing, why a particular person, team or company deserves the recognition of an award for the services they provide to people and the industry.

The Great British Care Awards are an exciting time in our company calendar.  I firmly believe that it is an opportunity to share the night with all the brilliant people that make this sector, just for one night being able to dress up in glamorous sequins and dinner jackets and reflect on the role they play in the lives of others and to represent an industry that is so poorly represented most of the time…….

This Year Platinum Care Solutions proudly employs a number of these finalists, whom of which all deserve their place in the finals and are all amazing for their own reasons.

The finalists are as follows;

Emma McCroy: Care Coordinator

Kelly Bowles: Care Coordinator

Natalie Dobson: Care Innovator

Tracey McCroron : Home Care Worker

Sara Pendlebury: Putting People First

As a company Platinum Care Solutions continues to recognise not only those finalists but all those within its company arms that continue to put the lives and safety of others first. We are always looking at ways of improving and recognising that as a team working together and collaborating we will achieve so much more.

As the finalists above now prepare for their interviews being held in Brighton on the 8th October, I will dust off my dancing shoes, for an evening of celebration and appreciation for the efforts made by the people that make this industry great!”
