A little festive competition has been held between some of the offices at HRI. Prevention of Delirium Co-ordinator, Rachel Bennett, and Nurse Consultant for Learning Disabilities, Amanda Mckie, organised an office decorating competition to see who could create the best festive-themed office.

Chief Nurse, Lindsay Rudge, came to judge last week, and it was announced that the Quality Team's office won with their candy cane themed decorations.

The other offices who took part included:

Tissue Viability - a nostalgic 80s and 90s theme with Tissue Viability Nurse, Kendal McNaught's daughter handmaking a lot of their decorations. 

Prevention of Delirium - dementia friendly retirement village for Christmas Gonks with a GQG (Gonk Quality Group) rating of stupendous!

Corporate Lead Advanced Clinical Practitioner, Deb Lau, and Nurse Consultant for Mental Health, Ian Noonan's, office - a diverse December celebration. Each corner of their office was a different culture; Hanukkah Sameach, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Bodhi Day, Blessed Yule, Maligayang Pasko and Merry Christmas! They said: "We have one culture of care at CHFT but celebrate the many cultures that contribute to that."

Amanda Mckie and Transition Clinical Specialist, Jill Priestley's, office - candy cane themed.

The ART team also took part, but didn't have a specific theme.

The winners received a Christmas hamper, kindly created by Rachel, and presented by Lindsay.
