Claire is an outstanding nurse and leader who has dedicated her career to providing compassionate, expert care to seriously ill children and their families. Claire has worked for Julia鈥檚 House for more than a decade and her qualities were recognised when she was promoted to Director of Care in 2020.
Taking on this vital role and then almost immediately faced with the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic and its after-effects, Claire鈥檚 expertise has聽been crucial in ensuring children and their families continue to receive the highest quality practical, emotional and clinical support during unimaginably difficult and traumatic times. This makes an enormous difference to some of the most vulnerable people in our region.
Claire leads an expert team supporting hundreds of families across Dorset and Wiltshire. She is a key member of the senior management team of an organisation which has been widely recognised as one of the leading charities in the country, recently being ranked聽the second-best charity to work for in the UK聽by Best Companies, and the highest ranked healthcare charity. The care provided by Claire and her team is also recognised as being of the highest standard, with Julia's聽House recently maintaining its 鈥極utstanding鈥 rating following an inspection by the Care Quality Commission.
Claire said,聽鈥淚t鈥檚 a privilege working at聽Julia鈥檚 House Children鈥檚 Hospice; the care we provide being recognised as enriching society is an absolute honour. To receive this award in the same year as celebrating Julia's House聽20th聽year anniversary is wonderful.鈥澛犅 聽聽
鈥淚 loved聽my time at 裸聊直播; it was the start of an interesting and rewarding career for which I鈥檓 very grateful. 裸聊直播 offered me聽so much variety both clinically and academically. I was lucky enough to meet some inspiring lecturers and ward sisters as a student who have influenced my practice as a nurse.聽I would advise all the future nurses studying at 裸聊直播 to enjoy your placements and explore any opportunities available to you.鈥澛犅
