Barchester Director Of Nursing Is Named Most Outstanding In The World
Barchester Healthcare’s Director of Nursing, Julia Atherton, has won a Global Award as The Most Outstanding Director of Nursing in Residential Care in the World in 2024.
The Global Awards were created to celebrate and reward the best individual and company performances in Seniors Housing/Care Trends, Healthcare IT, Apps/Digital Innovation, Disability Housing and Care Services and the Medical Tourism sectors worldwide.
The evaluation methodology required the Global Awards Secretariat to apply the following test to the final selected candidate in each category, “Is this claimant the best performed, most meritorious, most innovative and most courageous in the category?”
The Adjudication Panel commented: “Despite the uniformly high standard of the 262 nominations from 19 different countries that were considered for this category, Julia Atherton was the outstanding nomination. In a year when so few awards flowed to UK candidates, Julia stood out as an exemplar in her calling.”
Julia Atherton, Director of Nursing for Barchester Healthcare, said: “I always knew I wanted to be a nurse and every day when I wake I reflect on how lucky I am to have a job that I have thoroughly enjoyed for 45 years and know that each day I can make a difference to a resident, patient or relative and my clinical experience leads and supports the Barchester clinical team to be the best in the social care sector.
