Mo Ray awarded a NICE Fellowship
The National Centre for Clinical Excellence (NICE) has expanded its role into social care standards and to acknowledge and support this role, has extended its Fellows programme to include a Fellowship for senior social care professionals. The three year fellowship attracts high profile social care professionals with the capacity to influence practice, who are committed to evidence and research based practice as well as advising NICE as it develops its social care programme.
The activities of NICE fellows typically have local and national responsibilities. Locally, NICE fellows act as ambassadors for social care excellence. Nationally, NICE fellows speak at meetings of their professional society to explain the work of NICE and to support its implementation in the context of promoting good practice. In addition, NICE fellows are expected to act as a conduit of information or comment between NICE and front line staff. Mo Ray, Research Institute for Social Sciences and School of Public Policy and Professional Practice, qualified as a social worker in 1990 and has had many years experience as a social work practitioner and manager focusing on services for older people. Since coming to Keele, she has remained a registered social worker and has been Director of the MA Social Work programme at Keele for four years. Her teaching focuses on social work with adults and she has developed a range of CPD initiatives with and for the social and health care workforce. Her research interests focus on practice development and applied research which aims to challenge traditional cultures of care and improve quality of life for older people, particuarly with high support needs.
Mo starts her Fellowship in April 2012.
