Aspen Wood opened in March delivering low secure forensic learning disability care on the Maghull Health Park for the first time.
Hodder ward manager Phil, with clinical leads Gillian Clegg and Heidi Rosendale, want to congratulate those new colleagues who have just joined, as well as celebrating the great work of existing staff at all levels, including the budding footballers at the tournament last month!
Phil says: “From a management perspective, it’s a real pleasure to have such a dedicated and enthusiastic group of nurse’ in our team. The future of women’s low secure services is in very good hands and I look forward to watching each of our new professional develop into the highly skilled nurses that I know they will become.” (Phil then quietly confessed all this makes him feel a little bit old!)
The clinical leads said this of the new nurses:
Nicole Owen – Has a passion for staff health and wellbeing in addition to being a mental health first aider.
