Lanarkshire nurse praised for exceptional commitment to care 5 July 2005 A Lanarkshire Care Home worker has been honoured at an awards ceremony, for coming to the rescue of a woman desperately in need of nursing care. The woman, who suffered from blindness and a rare form of dementia, had already been refused a place by more than 100 care homes, before her social worker came knocking on the door of Bupa’s Hatton Lea Nursing Home. Care House Manager, Jennifer Hunter was undaunted by the challenge and was determined to offer a home to this lady, taking personal charge of her care. Her dedication and commitment has earned her an Annual Excellence Award as part of Bupa’s One Life Awards held at the Royal Opera House in London. Hatton Lea’s Care Home Manager, Stephen Hagan says: "In my 30-year career this is the most impressive piece of nursing I have ever witnessed. Despite the resident’s very challenging behaviour, Jennifer developed a strong bond and ensured that she did everything she could for the resident. She thoroughly deserves this award." This year a record number of people have been recognised within Bupa for the excellence of their work from significant one-off achievements to sustained commitment, loyalty, enthusiasm and care. As part of the One Life Awards 1400 employees were initially nominated at a local level for excelling within their role. This was then whittled down to 47 and from this number 10 people were finally chosen to receive an Annual Excellence Award. Recognition scheme manager Sally Gardiner, who organises the annual event, says: "All these people have made a significant personal contribution to realising Bupa’s vision of ‘taking care of the lives in our hands’. "They epitomise the rich diversity of talent and expertise of Bupa employees and highlight how our staff are prepared to readily go beyond the call of duty and exceed all expectations." Also announced at the awards luncheon were the winners of Bupa’s Idea of the Year Awards. Eight individuals were chosen from dozens of employees recognised for inspiration and innovation in business. Bupa employees from all over the world, including people from the UK, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Spain, Thailand and Australia attended the One Life Awards event.
