A Chipping Norton care home invited care workers and blue light holders to a free breakfast meeting for professionals.

The Southerndown Care Home monthly event, which started in June, was hosted by one of its residents, Dr Sheila Parker.

At the meetings professionals from various care and healthcare sectors come together to network over a choice of continental or full English breakfast supplied by the home.

Attendees are also provided with the opportunity to tour the facility and ask any questions they might have about care.

Arlene Acuavera, the general manager at the home, said: "Southerndown is keen to be part of the community and our professional breakfast allows individuals from the care industry to meet and connect with one another.

"It’s a great chance to share experiences of working within the care sector, make new contacts within the community, and of course, enjoy our wonderful spread provided by our hospitality team."

The home is managed by Barchester Healthcare, one of the largest care providers in the UK, offering services including nursing care, residential care, and respite care.
