Bev Contaoi
Lead Nurse, Askham Court
Bev is a disciplinarian who, nevertheless, has developed a family feel within her team; a team that looks after a very complex set of residents. The strengths she brings to the peer group centre on her clinical excellence of dealing with highly complex residents. Bev in particular is very focussed on the role of the family in supporting patients to progress towards their goals.
Where our residents don’t have family, she encourages staff to take on this role (while of course maintaining professional boundaries), motivating residents to follow through on their rehabilitation. She brings her clinical knowledge to the peer group, often providing competency checks and best practice to other Leads.
