New Hospice Update
Work continues on the new building to enable us to open during March. It is very exciting as the finishing touches and new furniture are added, and systems and equipment are commissioned. Thank you to the Amiri Blogging Team for the photographs.
Outstanding Care needs an Outstanding Team
CoBH believes in developing our staff. This month Sandra Leonard and Charlotte Burgess begin studies to improve the care and service we offer and further their careers. Charlotte, who is currently a Healthcare Assistant, is starting a foundation degree in nursing to become a Nursing Associate. Sandra, Senior Sister and Day Care Leader, is taking a post-graduate module to become a non-medical prescriber. We wish them both every success with their studies.
If you are a motivated skilled professional Band 5 registered nurse looking for a new challenge – then we would love to hear from you. Applicants should have post registration experience in a relevant setting and be keen to develop their career. Contact Sarah McGaughey in the first instance by email. (No agencies please)
