Northern Ireland Care Student Wins Top Care Award
Louise Harney was the only person from Northern Ireland to receive one of six Tallow Chandlers prizes for City & Guilds Health and Social Care learners and lecturers at a special lunch in London on Thursday 7th February 2008.
Louise works as a care assistant for Homecare. Joan Boylan, Personal Manager, supported and mentored Louise throughout the programme said “Homecare have invested heavily in training and supporting staff through NVQ and Louise’s achievement demonstrates the excellent practice that the company always strive to achieve”.
Louise, a student of the Southern Regional College Newry, said: ‘I am delighted to have won such a prestigious award. I am honoured and humbled. This award is a team effort and I am pleased that the work of the Lecturers in Newry who supported me so well has received U.K recognition”
Each year, the Tallow Chandlers request City & Guilds to submit a selection of top achievers who have completed or taught a health and social care qualification through the awarding body.
Louise is photographed here with the Master Tallow Chandler, Mr Phillip Edwards, who presented Louise with a cheque, medal and certificate and praised her achievements: ‘Louise’s a credit to all and this achievement will do much to further what I am sure will be a wonderful career in Health and Social Care. |
