Knaresborough woman awarded palliative care award at national care awards
A Knaresborough woman has won the palliative care award at the national finals of the Great British Care Awards.
Karen Crampton is live-in carer from Carefound Home Care, Harrogate. The company is a provider of local home care services that enable older people to live at home and has branches in Wilmslow, West Bridgford, Harrogate and York.
As a professional live-in carer, Ms Crampton provides round-the-clock care to her clients in their own homes. The role enables patients to remain at home, including at the end of life.
The Great British Care Awards celebrate excellence across the care sector and took place at the ICC in Birmingham on March 22.
Ms Crampton was named as the national winner of the palliative care award, recognising the end-of-life care she provides to older people in their own homes. She previously won the regional award at the Yorkshire & Humberside event at the Royal Armouries in Leeds.
TV celebrities Rylan Clark and Steve Walls presented the award to her at the awards ceremony.
