I received fantastic news today that Jackie Rosling, who heads up the development of the dementia strategy for Cumbria Care, is a finalist in the National Care Awards. I don’t know who the other nominees are but I do know that Jackie (having worked with her extensively) is an absolute gem. She is a phenomenal credit to her organisation and a great asset to the people who benefit from her efforts.
Jackie wont care (too much) if she wins or loses but she is deserving of all the accolades that come her way.
In my opinion, her great achievement has been to research, create and implement a structured and ambitious approach to delivering the highest quality of care possible. Those people within the organisation who work with and support Jackie also deserve recognition.
Although the project will continue to develop, there is much that others may learn from Cumbria Cares approach and determination to achieve ambitiously high standard.
I have no doubt that the results will be the envy of many and hopefully they will inspire others to follow their lead.
