Where do I start??
Nicky is the one of the most kindest, friendliest and professional HCA’s I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She is well liked by her colleagues, the children and their families. Nothing is too much trouble, she runs round the unit providing exceptional care of her own patient workload whilst supporting her colleagues and ensuring the Unit looks clean, tidy and topped up. She never stops.
Nicky is constantly striving to make the ward a better place and often puts forward excellent ideas on how things can run smoother.Nicky is a stable, professional, knowledgeable and skillful senior Healthcare Care Assistant within Bramble Ward.

If anyone deserves an award for being dedicated to her job, its Nicky. This woman doesn’t stop. From the moment her shift starts to the very end, she is always on the go. Patient care is a priority for Nicky, and it comes so effortlessly. Nicky is an amazing advocate for all the patients and families she cares for, nothing is ever to much trouble for her. Not only is she a great HCA but she also a massive support for nursing staff. Nicky is such a support for band staff and new HCAs on the ward, which Bramble has seen a lot of over the last few months. I think it really helps having such a support for new staff. Nicky is always asking if anyone needs any help, if there is anything she can do to assist anyone and she is a whiz at keeping the ward stocked up. The example she sets to others is gold standard. Her kindness and gentle mannerisms is outstanding, and she is a very loved member of staff.
