Adult safeguarding lead Enda oversees the trust's safeguarding adults team. A significant portion of his day is spent educating staff, formulating safeguarding strategies, and supervising members of the team.

‘We may not receive cards or formal recognition, but it’s always uplifting to hear feedback months later that someone we supported is now living in better conditions. This is our reward.’

Thank you Enda for everything you do.

This week, in honour of International Nurses’ Day, we are shining the spotlight on colleagues in specialised nursing roles.

George is the trust’s lead for advanced practice. A nurse by profession, it’s his role to support registered healthcare professionals to work at an advanced level of practice which involves a high degree of autonomy and complex decision making.

‘Nursing can be a great, rewarding career and with so many specialties there is something for everyone. It can be really tough at times but you are often in the most privileged of positions. You might be supporting someone at the best or worst time of their life, and you have the opportunity to really make a difference for patients and their families.’

Thank you George for everything you do.
