Dr Richard Hawkins, Editor in Chief of Caring Times, which organises the event, said: “The aim of the National Care Awards over the last eighteen years is to identify and reward the very best people in long-term care.
“At a time of unprecedented challenges to the sector, it is vital we attract, support and nurture the people upon whom so many older highly dependent people rely. The National Care Awards is proud to be at the centre of that process.”
The 2016 winners will be named at a glittering ceremony hosted by a surprise celebrity guest at the London Hilton Metropole Friday 25th November.
