Barchester Care Awards 2020
The Barchester Care Awards celebrate excellence in the quality of care we provide by recognising those individuals that go the extra mile to make a difference to the lives of those we support.
The awards were open to employees from all of Barchester’s 240 care homes and hospitals across the UK. In 2020, there were over 2,800 nominations. Divisional Winners were selected, and a panel of judges decided on the overall National Winners for each category.
The categories have been created to reflect the outstanding contribution in a whole variety of roles across the company, ranging from ‘Registered Nurse of the Year’ and ‘Foundation Champion’ to ‘Chef of the Year’ and 'Activities Coordinator of the Year'.
The National Winners of the Barchester Care Awards 2020 were announced in a virtual awards on Thursday 8th October. Please see the below for a full list of National Winners for 2020.
