"I am honoured and thrilled to join the Championing Social Care Team in shining a light on the incredible positive stories and celebrating initiatives within the social care sector.
“As a health lawyer I am privileged to work with so many hard working, talented and selfless people in the sector.
“Every day I am pleasantly surprised and humbled by the dedication, compassion and simple humanity that so many social care workers, from health care assistants to CEOs and everything in-between, give to the sector and the people they serve.
“This is especially the case over the last 18 months when our whole country but especially health care staff and leaders have had such a challenging time.
"The social care sector’s a brilliant shining light in our country and one that must be cherished, valued and promoted.
“I am thrilled to form part of this team leading such support in the sector and more widely.”
