What an absolutely incredible and proud morning for everyone at Bennfield House! 💙✨
Today we had the enormous privilege of welcoming Mr William McHugh MBE DL, Deputy Lieutenant of South Yorkshire, Lindsay Meeks and Michelle Raddings senior leaders from the Royal College of Nursing, together with colleagues, partners and, most importantly, our residents.
Today was an opportunity to showcase the work taking place at Bennfield around our Social Care Advanced Practitioner pilot and to open an important conversation: Social Care Advanced Practitioners… the way to the future?
Having such respected guests from the Royal College of Nursing here at Bennfield, listening to our experiences, engaging with our team and discussing the future of nursing within social care, was incredibly special.
We could not be prouder of Matron Penny Bennett, our entire Bennfield team and everyone who has contributed to this journey. Today demonstrated what can happen when social care is given the opportunity to innovate, develop its nursing workforce and challenge traditional ways of working.
And at the centre of everything were our residents. ❤️ This is their home, and everything we are trying to achieve ultimately comes back to providing them with the very best care, opportunities and outcomes.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made today such a success.
A very special day. A very proud Bennfield House. And an incredibly exciting future for social care nursing. 💙👏🏼 Royal College of Nursing The Royal Family fans Doncaster Council Doncaster Free Press Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
