I have developed a wide range of skills that will be invaluable when I am on placement and I have thoroughly enjoyed working for Welcombe Care, alongside other wonderful carers who I have learnt so much from.'

Good luck on your travels!

'Welcombe care has created the perfect foundation for my nursing career. I have learnt incredible skills such as; effective communication skills and how to competently administer medication. Everyday is different and I am learning on the job. Welcombe has shown me the compassionate side of the health care sector by delivering brilliant person centred care and has allowed me to personally develop as a carer. I improve my skills daily whilst being surrounded by a lovely management team and like minded staff members.'

We would like to take the opportunity to congratulate Vic Pringle for her continued service of nine years!
Vic opened Welcombe Care in 2015 with colleague Debbie Reynolds alongside Dr Crowfoot and Martyn.
To celebrate almost a decade working for Welcombe Care we asked Vic some questions.

Why did you start working in care?
I’ve worked in the health and care sector since I was 18 in various different settings . I worked as an Occupational Therapist in the NHS before moving into the adult social care sector around 15 years ago . The crucial thing to me is enabling peoples independence . This remains our ethos at Welcombe Care. It is an absolute pleasure to support people to maintain their independent lives in their own home.

What are your hobbies?
Everyone knows this is dogs, tea drinking and swimming !

What three words best describe you?
Tea lover, calm and hysterical in equal measures

A quote of motivation from Vic - 'Just say yikes and move on!'

Congratulations again Vic on your nine years of service and here's to many many more!

One of our lovely carers, Paola, has treated Joe to an afternoon spa treatment. Joe felt great after his manicure! Lucky Joe!
