A nurse trainer and catering manager at a Ledbury care home have been recognised for their outstanding contribution during the past year at the annual Shaw Star Awards 2022.

The 13th Shaw healthcare national awards ceremony took place at The Tortworth Court Hotel in Gloucestershire on Thursday 24 November and was hosted by Paul Sinha, best known for his regular appearances on ITV’s ‘The Chase’.

Hannah Salter was recognised in the ‘Services Support’ category – sponsored by Lloyds Pharmacy - for providing clinical skills training to all nurses at Shaw healthcare and stepping up to assist a service that had acute nursing needs.

Ms Salter said: “Providing excellent clinical care is crucial for our service users, who are often dealing with a variety of conditions, most commonly dementia. To be recognised for my work by colleagues at the Star Awards is fantastic.”

Meanwhile, Lisa Carne – catering manager at Ledbury Nursing Home - was recognised for her inventive cookery skills in the kitchen with the ‘Culinary Star’ award win, which was sponsored by e-foods. Colleagues have praised Lisa for the way she manages to adapt the menu to suit the individual needs of the residents – sometimes at very short notice.

She said: “When it comes to catering in care homes I truly believe it should not be ‘one size fits all’, but a tailored approach of nutrition and hydration to ensure all residents’ needs are accounted for. I’m proud to play my part in making this happen.”

Ms Salter and Ms Carne were two of seven award winners who were recognised at the event, which aims to celebrate the achievements of outstanding staff members across Shaw’s 60 UK facilities.

Russell Brown, CEO of Shaw healthcare, added: “The Shaw Star Awards are always the highlight of our calendar and this year’s event was no exception. The quality of submissions was fantastic and it was – as always – hard to pick a winner from the extremely talented pool of finalists.

“As an employee-owned company it is vital that we celebrate the Shaw family, so I want to say a huge congratulations to Hannah, Lisa and the other winners – all of whom embody Shaw’s ethos of going above and beyond to provide the best possible care to our residents.”

As part of the event, the guests were treated to music from three-piece band AudioJaxx.
