WHAT’S NEW? HC-ONE’S QUALITY PROJECTS


LEAD HONOURED WITH MBE Liz Whyte, HC-One’s Quality Projects Lead, has been awarded a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in recognition of her outstanding commitment to social care.


A Registered Nurse with over 30 years’ experience in the care sector, Liz has dedicated her career to the care and wellbeing of older people. Over the years, Liz has touched the lives of so many residents, their families and colleagues, providing support and leadership. During her career with HC-One, Liz has held a number of roles including Managing Director, and Acting Director of Standards & Compliance.


Liz’s MBE is a recognition of the impact that she has made throughout her career, including her significant efforts during the Covid-19 pandemic.


Liz stepped up at the start of the pandemic to play a pivotal role in HC-One's response – delaying her retirement plans to do so. Liz, who became HC-One's Covid Lead, very quickly found herself working at a fast pace to digest and deliver complex information across a constantly changing environment.


Liz Whyte MBE, Quality Projects Lead at HC-One, commented: “I am honoured and humbled to receive an MBE. It is a huge privilege to be named amongst others who have made a significant difference to people’s lives in their field of work.
