Once a month the Birchy Hill Residents go off to meet the Residents in a Care Home in Ashley.

These meetings support our Residents contact with the wider community.

This time we were entertained with a fun filled musical show and quiz, and we enjoyed tea and homemade jam doughnuts.

Our team was quite successful in answering quiz questions, something to talk about on the way home.

With a smile and a tune on their lips, everybody returned happily and probably dreamed about Doris Day, Frank Sinatra or George Michael.

In April the High Flyer Award was given to the Registered Night Nurse Ghiorghe Stefan, in recognition of his availability and flexibility to the Service, for being king and caring, and for his excellent attendance record.

Congratulation, Ghiorghe, from all at Birchy Hill!

The High Flyer Award for Mach was given to 2 very valued young ladies:

Kate Gilbert – Mental Health Nurse, was recognised for her dedication and hard work. She manages case work very well, is proactive in getting tasks done, and is very involved with service users’ care.

Eloisa Silva – Health Care Assistant, received the award for her hard work, for being kind and caring. She has a great personality and attitude to work. Eloise is always ready to help and made a great impression in a short time.

Congratulations from all at Birchy Hill, well done, ladies!

On the 12th May, Florence Nightingale’s Birthday, Nurses are honoured and celebrated all over the world.

In Birchy Hill, we celebrated this day with a lovely tea party, where Staff could reminisce with little anecdotes from their careers.

The Nurses wore different uniforms to demonstrate the changes Nurses were gone through over the last decades.

We listened to some information about Mary Seacole, another famous nurse in the Crimean War, and were challenged with a crossword puzzle to test our knowledge about nursing.
