Dundee Church Member Finalist for National Nurse of the Year Award
Olanrewaju Adegbite, Head of Unit at Barchester’s South Grange Care Home and a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Dundee, has reached the final of the National Care Awards 2024. He has been shortlisted in the prestigious Nurse of the Year category.
Organised by Caring Times magazine, the National Care Awards are designed to celebrate the very best people and companies in the long-term social care sector, highlighting excellence and rewarding those who work tirelessly to provide consistently outstanding care. The awards are now in their 26th year and competition is fierce with each of the categories receiving hundreds of entries.
Olanrewaju, or Larry as he is known, joined Barchester’s South Grange Care Home in Monifieth, Tayside in 2021 as a nurse and has worked his way up through the ranks to Head of Unit. He originally wanted to be a Civil Engineer but was inspired to be a nurse after looking after his late Grandmother. He decided he wanted to be able to support older people to meet their needs and create an environment where independence is nurtured, so he decided to train as a nurse and join the care sector. Larry loves his job and likes nothing more than putting a smile on his residents' faces each and every day.
Larry says: “I was absolutely amazed when I heard I had been short-listed, I had no idea I had been nominated. I feel very humbled to be a finalist and immensely grateful to have been nominated, it is lovely to be recognised for doing the job I love. I guess it means I must be doing something right! It is wonderful that people took the time to nominate me, I’m blown away.”
General Manager of South Grange, Catherine Lappin, comments: “We are so proud of Larry, we cannot think of anyone more deserving of the title of Nurse of the Year. He is so committed to our residents; he goes above and beyond every day to ensure they are as happy and as comfortable as possible. He is a force of nature and the heart of our home, everyone loves him, he is so positive, passionate and caring.”
The Scottish Mission extends warm congratulations and best wishes to Larry on being named a finalist for the prestigious Nurse of the Year Award at the National Care Awards 2024. His dedication, compassion, and tireless commitment to providing outstanding care are truly inspiring. We are delighted to see his hard work and selfless service recognised on such a national platform. May this achievement not only highlight the profound impact he has on the lives of his residents but also encourage him to continue reflecting Christ’s love in all he does. The Scottish Mission will continue to pray for his ongoing success!
