Providers urged to put their 'Welsh into action' - and enter Welsh Government awards
Independent social care providers are being encouraged to enter the Welsh Language in Health, Social Services and Social Care Awards 2015.
You can nominate groups or individuals who have gone the extra mile to ensure that patients or services users receive care through the medium of Welsh as a natural part of their care. Care Forum Wales is keen to get as many providers to enter the awards as possible in 2015, said CFW adviser Melanie Minty who will be one of the awards judges.
She said: "Last year we highlighted the fact that independent social care providers, as well as NHS staff, do great work in providing care through the medium of Welsh. This prompted the awards organisers to make sure the awards are open to independent care providers. We know that great work is going on in the sector and this is our chance to prove it! We hope as many providers as possible will nominate colleagues or staff for the 2015 awards."
