NOVEMBER 2018 - Main sponsor of React to Red CHASE AWARDS
Wednesday 7th November 2018
We are proud to be the main sponsor of the fourth annual CHASE (Care Home Achievement Success Event) award for React to Red in Bassetlaw where many hard-working people were honoured in various categories.
Geraldine Reevell and Tessa Anders the React to Red coordinators organised the awards on behalf of Nottingham NHS Healthcare Trust and selected the winners.
The event was another huge success.
Our sales manager Andy Robinson and business development manager Trisha Hayes have worked hard over the past year alongside the tissue viability team. They have provided pressure mapping analysis, clinical trials and care home training across all of the 28 homes in the region, covering all staff.
Geraldine commented:
"A lot of the awards were nominated by the staff themselves. I would like to give a massive thank you to all involved. Keep up the good work and keep inspired."
Geraldine and Tessa run the React to Red programme. Their aim is to reduce the number of pressure ulcers among care home residents. Their train-the-trainer approach in tackling pressure ulcers is the first in the county to do so. As a result of their efforts, all care homes they work with have had a dramatic fall in the number of residents suffering from pressure ulcers.
During August 2018, ZERO% acquired avoidable Pressure Ulcers was achieved across all 28 care home. We are all proud of for this huge achievement.
Ultimate Healthcare would like to thank all 28 Care Homes and a fantastic tissue viability team for all the work done in the last 12 months and again we are proud to be an important part of.

Main sponsor of React to Red 2017
We are proud to be the main sponsor of the latest CHASE (Care Home Achievement Success Event) award for React to Red in Bassetlaw.
Many hard-working people were honoured in categories including unsung hero, innovator of the year and manager of the year.
Bassetlaw CCG’s award-winning Tissue Viability Team of Geraldine Reevell, Simone Richie and Tessa Anders organised the awards, on behalf of Nottingham NHS Healthcare Trust, and chose the winners.
The event was another huge success.
Our own Andy Robinson and Trisha Hayes have worked hard over the past year with the Tissue Viability Team. We’ve provided pressure mapping analyses, clinical trials and care home training across all 28 homes in the region, covering all staff.
This hard work and collaboration produced fantastic results, as across the homes’ 1,127 residents; there were only 11 avoidable pressure ulcers. The 1% rate has been nationally recognised.
Geraldine commented:
"A lot of the awards were nominated by the staff themselves. I would like to give a massive thank you to all involved. Keep up the good work and keep inspired."
Geraldine, Tessa and Simone run the React to Red programme, aiming to reduce the number of pressure ulcers among care home residents. Their train-the-trainer approach in tackling pressure ulcers is the first in the county to do so.
As a result of their efforts, all care homes they work with have had a dramatic fall in the number of residents suffering from pressure ulcers.
For our part, we will continue to support their fantastic work in our goal to achieve a 0% rate.
The night ended with a 20 minute firework display as a huge thank you for staff’s excellent performance over the last 12 months.
