I would highly recommend Laura and LSW Care Solutions Ltd to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and results-driven partner in the care industry.

Laura has been a true asset to the creation and development of our businesses. Laura’s wealth of knowledge and experience is something special. Thank you for all of your work so far.

Since working with Laura, I have acquired a range of valuable skills and significantly enhanced my professional knowledge. Her exceptional expertise within the health and social care sector is unparalleled, and her guidance has been instrumental in fostering my professional development.

Laura provided guidance and support to a number of different services with different client groups and I would describe Laura as an extremely knowledgeable, skilled and competent nurse practitioner. This allied with her extensive knowledge of health and social care regulation and legislation and experience of quality assurance and compliance enables her to lead any team in the field of quality assurance, internal inspection and compliance.

I’ve worked with Laura on an ongoing basis over the previous 12 months on various healthcare and nursing management projects, including turnaround consulting, sale preparation and acquisition due diligence, as well as quality and governance consulting. Laura demonstrates exceptional senior-level nursing and clinical management skills with a clear ability to spot challenges and opportunities for organisational change, whilst maintaining a caring and compassionate approach that resonates with patients, their representatives, and staff teams. Laura has an enviable level of nursing and clinical knowledge across the elderly, learning disability and autism, and mental health sectors. Laura not only has a deep understanding of nursing and clinical standards but understands their significance in delivering ongoing and well managed and sustainable care services. Laura has a sound understanding of quality and governance frameworks and how to review and implement chance that improves patient experience and care.

Laura has supported me personally with managerial supervisions and quality assurance inspections for my Nursing Home.

During this time, Laura has been always supportive and professional.

Laura’s feedback following our quality assurance inspections has been extremely useful, Laura has high standards of what is to be expected in the event of a CQC inspection. Laura’s action plan has enabled us to work through her recommendations to ensure we are CQC ready, but most of all providing good quality care to our residents.

Laura has excellent knowledge of the latest guidance for nursing homes.

Laura has a wealth of knowledge that comes from many years of experience in the Care sector. As we were getting to grips with setting up our care company, Unfading Care Ltd, we particularly appreciated her no-nonsense type of approach, combined with her strong work ethic and encouraging manner. Laura was a real answer to prayer. We had lodged an initial application with to the Care Inspectorate and we had received a reply with a long list of negative feedback. We felt discouraged as we had never registered a care company before. In came Laura, through a series of unusual events, and she agreed to be both our Mentor and Consultant as we navigated the choppy waters of getting our company registered. She held our hand and gave us very clear direction, whereby we felt not only much relieved but also very encouraged! She also gave us help with our policies and recruitment. We therefore strongly recommend taking Laura on board, you won’t regret it. In short, she is an expert with a heart of gold.

Laura’s knowledge and experience in recent years has been focused upon the CQC Key Lines Of Enquiry and working to achieve excellence in service standards. She has experience in developing robust Quality Governance systems that underpin the ongoing monitoring and audit of management systems, therefore ensuring standards are always met in real-time, and not just periodically.

Her analytical skills and ability to see the larger picture, and communicate that succinctly that sets Laura apart for many others in her field of work.

“Laura has a fantastic understanding of how the care sector operates and the regulatory framework. She is able to identify things that are doing well whilst balancing these against improvements that may be required. She has a fantastic understanding of all things Coronial and has a sound methodical/analytical approach.”

“Laura has an exceptional, wide-reaching knowledge of CQC fundamental standards covering both strategic and operational levels and as a registered nurse brings together an overall picture of a competent and knowledgeable practitioner. I have had the privilege of working alongside Laura for the past year and during this time Laura, as the Director of Quality and Compliance has led and driven the implementation of the quality strategy, embedding systems and process to ensure that Quality within the organisation is supported with a comprehensive framework and threaded throughout. Laura is friendly, approachable, and underpins the work she does with a moral compass. I wish Laura well in her new adventure and add that Laura was an asset to the organisation.”

“I’m lucky to have worked with Laura, a manager that’s not only interested in the company but in her employee’s professional growth. Laura worked as my Director in Care, Quality & Compliance and would consider her an expert and highly respected in her field. I’ve seen Laura create a Quality Assurance Framework, Policy & Procedures, robust audit tools, and working collaboratively with other key stakeholders to achieve better outcomes. Laura was always very approachable, professional, and a problem solver. I would strongly recommend Laura to any organisation focused on striving to Improve Quality & Compliance.”

“I worked alongside Laura, both as directors in a not for profit organisation. Laura is a consummate professional, with in-depth knowledge of quality and compliance in the health and social care sectors. As a dual registered nurse, she is also up to date and clinically astute, with a passion for person-centered care and support.’’

“It was a great pleasure to assist Laura in her accomplishments for a number of challenges and changes to uplift the group’s key care quality standards and ratings. Laura is a fully qualified expert specialised in H&SC quality inspection, compliance and improvements with many years’ experience and I have no hesitation to recommend her to anyone who is willing to entrust her with lead responsibilities over the quality assurance and compliance journey.”

“It was my pleasure to manage Laura whilst she was the Regulation & Compliance Manager at Danshell, and I can honestly say she was a great appointment and a real asset to our governance team. Laura has exceptional knowledge of regulation and compliance, which enabled her to undertake her role effectively. She undertook robust service reviews and provided evidence-based reports, which helped services develop. Laura’s feedback following reviews was assertive and sensitive, ensuring the manager was left feeling inspired to develop the service rather than feeling deflated. She understands quality and would be an asset in any quality, compliance, or managerial role.”

“Laura is a hardworking and effective clinician and leader who managed to successfully balance the quality of service delivery with leading a team and managing a nursing home on a day to day basis. Fundamental to the start-up of a complex nursing care service, Laura was successful in developing professional networks and generating new business through the reputation of the quality of the services provided.”
