Sona shortlisted for a Leaders In Care award

The Leaders in Care Awards, hosted by Care Home Professional and Home Care Insight, have been circled in our calendars for a while.  

We recently revealed that we're sponsoring the Leader of the Future award. So now we have an extra reason to look forward to the ceremony on 11 October!

The Innovative Solutions supplier award recognises providers helping the UK care home industry deliver efficient, effective and high-quality care. Making the shortlist so early in our journey is an unexpected delight and fantastic validation of our progress so far.

Congratulations to our fellow finalists Leecare Solutions, Vayyar, Person Centred Software, and Care Hires - the quality of technology in social care has never been higher.

No one is happier about the news than our Co-founder Oli:  

I'm so proud of this nomination and for being recognised alongside these great companies. And I'm thrilled that the hard work the entire Sona team continues to put into making the best workforce management solution on the market is being noticed by the industry.

Oli will have the honour of presenting the Leader of the Future award to one of the following impressive individuals:

• Angela Boxall, Majesticare
• Alex Ball, Stow Healthcare
• Ali Al-Mufti, Arcadia
• Frances Fisher, Sunnyview House (BUPA)
• Rebecca Whitehead, Summerhill Care Home (HC One)

Well done to all of you for making what was undoubtedly a hotly contested shortlist.

Seventeen awards are up for grabs next month, with the decisions being made by an independent judging panel comprised of some big names, including Jane Townson, CEO of Homecare Association; Kathryn Smith, CEO of the Social Care Institute for Excellence; Martin Green, CEO of Care England; and Vic Rayner, executive director of the National Care Forum.
