Barchester Healthcare is celebrating after once again being named healthcare sector winner in the internationally-recognised RoSPA Health and Safety Awards.

For the sixth time, Barchester Healthcare has received the RoSPA Health and Safety Healthcare Sector Winner Award for working hard to ensure its staff, residents, patients and visitors are safe, demonstrating the best health and safety performance during 2024.

Now in its 69th year, and with almost 2,000 entries annually from over 50 countries, covering over seven million employees, the RoSPA Awards are the world’s largest health and safety awards programme, recognising those organisations and individuals who have set the highest standards in accident prevention. The RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, and receives entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most sought-after achievement awards for the health and safety industry.

Dr Pete Calveley, CEO of Barchester Healthcare, said: “I consider the health and safety of our residents and staff to be our utmost priority, nothing is more important and our teams work tirelessly every single day to achieve the best safety, hygiene and infection control standards possible. It is testament to their dedication that we have won the award for the entire healthcare sector six times now. I want to thank all the brilliant people that make up Barchester for their exceptional commitment and attention to detail. I am incredibly proud of each and every one of them.”

RoSPA regards Barchester Healthcare as a strong example of the importance of making accident prevention central to any successful organisation, not just for the benefit of employees, customers and clients, but also society as a whole.”
