Professor Deborah Sturdy has outlined her commitment to recognise the outstanding contribution made by social care workers and nurses in England.
The awards will mirror the Chief Nursing Officer Ruth May’s awards for the NHS, and aim to celebrate nurses and care workers in adult social care who go above and beyond their everyday roles to provide excellent care, leadership and inspiration.
Presented as gold and silver awards, they represent an important step towards bringing recognition in line with the NHS workforce and recognise the extraordinary commitment of the adult social care workforce.
This new award is the first of its kind for adult social care and is open to the workforce from all settings and parts of the sector. The awards will be on an application basis and awarded throughout the year.
Chief Nurse for Adult Social Care Professor Deborah Study said: “The pandemic has shone a light on the exemplary efforts of our dedicated social care workforce, and I am committed to ensuring we recognise the selfless hard work they do day in and day out. The social care workforce more than ever continues to demonstrate unwavering compassion, professionalism and dedication. Not only during the pandemic but every year.
“I am extremely proud to present these awards to colleagues in social care which reflect those for colleagues in the NHS. These individual awards recognise exceptional practice and care and rightly give recognition, acknowledgement and appreciation that those individuals deserve.”
