Aberdeen care home manager Phil Stuart of Cowdray Club Care Home has been nominated for the Leadership Award at the Scottish Care Awards 2023.

The nomination recognises Stuart’s outstanding contribution to the field of elderly care and his unwavering commitment to providing exceptional support and leadership to staff within the home.

Stuart said: “It is truly an honour to be nominated for my leadership skills at the Scottish Care Awards 2023.

“This recognition is first and foremost a reflection of the hard work and commitment of the entire team at Cowdray Club. Together, we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our residents, and I am proud to be a part of such a dedicated and compassionate team.”

The Scottish Care Awards, an esteemed annual event, celebrates individuals and organisations that demonstrate excellence, innovation and a deep commitment to the wellbeing of those in need of care.

Under Stuart’s guidance, Cowdray Club recently received an outstanding care inspectorate ranking of 5, which is the second-highest rating available under the body’s grading system following an unannounced inspection in late July.

The winners of the 2023 Scottish Care Awards will be announced at a gala ceremony on 17 November, where Stuart other nominees will gather to celebrate the achievements and contributions towards the field of care.
