Manx Care Toasts Staff

Employees of Manx Care have been recognised for their dedication at the care provider’s first ever formal colleague award ceremony.

Getting it out the way first, Manx Care has said no public cash was spent on the glitzy evening.

The Care Awards saw 10 individuals and teams receive prizes for their work across a broad range of categories.

Lieutenant Governor Sir John Lorimer and Lady Philippa Lorimer MBE, were guests of honour, with Lady Lorimer giving a keynote speech on her time as Commanding Officer of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry charity (no giggling, but work it out for yourselves).

Manx Care’s Chief Executive, Teresa Cope, said: ‘Establishing a formal Care Awards event has been an ambition of the Board since Manx Care began operating in shadow form, and I’m so pleased that we have seen this become a reality. Our event gave us the opportunity to pause and reflect on the exceptional achievements made by our colleagues across the entirety of Manx Care, and recognise the difference they make to the lives of their patients, service users, carers, family members and our island community, often at times of extreme vulnerability.

Our event was only made possible thanks to the support of a number of corporate sponsors who were able to join us on the evening and see for themselves the hard work and dedication of our colleagues. I’d like to thank them again for their time and support for our colleague recognition agenda. It was a fantastic evening which people are still talking about now, and I’m truly honoured to lead such a wonderful group of colleagues.’
