On Monday, our homecare business - Alcura were delighted to welcome Labour MP for Northampton South Mike Reader to our bustling Alcura site, home to over 200 team members. Mike met with Sam Unsworth, Head of Communications, and Catherine van Vliet, Head of Alcura, to discuss Alcura's personalised services and the impact they have in the local community and nationwide.

Discussion focussed on the work of the Alcura pharmacy, the unique nursing home care service and the difference Alcura makes in helping Government's plans to move services from 'hospital to community'. Mike was introduced to Kara Richards, Head of Nursing, Alcura, who was able to share insights about the vital care that home nursing provides.

After the meeting Mike was led on a tour of the Alcura pharmacy by Site Manager Ellie Taylor where he was able to see pharmacy team members in action, the homecare nursing unit and visit the Alcura warehouse. With thanks to Ellie and Kara for joining the tour and special thanks to Mike for coming, we look forward to continuing our work with you.
