S3 E6: Sometimes we need to take a breath and see the bigger picture - Skills for Care | The care exchange

Series 3 Episode 6: Sometimes we need to take a breath and see the bigger picture

As registered managers, it’s easy to get caught up in the daily running of the service and not be aware of the bigger strategic changes taking place.

Jo-Anne Wilson, the registered manager of a Royal British Legion Nursing home joins us to talk about her work with the Integrated Care Board and the Social Care Nursing Advisory Council, being part of a documentary on dementia care and how she supports staff wellbeing with her 300 staff.

Jo-Anne has a huge passion for raising the profile of social care and, of course, we couldn’t chat to Jo-Anne without asking her about getting her recent MBE from King Charles!

Don’t forget you can nominate your colleagues for the Chief Nurse Adult Social Care Award which is open to all social care workers and nursing working in Social Care in England.
