Star of the month is Jamie Whelan who is our kitchen supervisor. Since joining the Seacroft Green team he has been a wonderful addition to our staff, nothing is ever too much trouble and he is appreciated by staff and residents alike.
Well Done Jamie!
A lovely sentiment ...In tribute to the NHS please could I offer my favourite quote, which sums up everything I think and believe, how I wish I had written it !
When I think about all the patients and their loved ones that I have worked with over the years, I know most of them don’t remember me nor I them.
But I do know that I gave a little piece of myself to each of them and they to me and those threads make up the beautiful tapestry in my mind that is my career in nursing
