“I have been involved in the provision and development of dementia care for a number of years and there are some incredible social care professionals who often go unnoticed. These awards will highlight these professionals who put their heart and soul into the fantastic work they do to support people with dementia to live full lives. Newman University’s ethos fits well with the awards as the professionals who are nominated and win, live and breathe these values and make a real impact in the world through the inspiring work they do.”
