Congratulations go to Claire Gallagher who featured in an edition of the Daily Record on Wednesday 28 July. Claire, a mental health support worker with the community mental health team at Airbles Road, Motherwell, was contacted by the national newspaper as part of its special feature on those who have been nominated in this year’s Scottish Health Awards.
Claire has been nominated for the Support Worker of the Year category in the 2021 Scottish Health Awards, run by the Daily Record in partnership with NHS Scotland, by Marjorie Baxter, secretary with NHS Lanarkshire’s adult mental health team.
Claire said: “It was a privilege to be able to tell my story because it’s such a unique time we are in. It was really nice for the ward staff to have something to remember following a difficult time when I lost my fiancé Ian.”
Claire added: “I love my job, I wouldn’t change it for the world. I don’t think I do anything different to anyone else. I can only thank Marjory for taking the time to nominate me – it’s made me feel really appreciated.”
