Individual of the Month: Paula Caliskan ✨

Paula is an incredibly dedicated and compassionate nurse who always goes the extra mile for both patients and colleagues. She’s the first to offer help and support, and her flexibility means she’s always ready to adapt when the team needs her. Paula speaks up for what’s right, advocating for patients with integrity and professionalism, and she does it all with grace and kindness.

Her honesty and openness make her easy to trust, and she’s known for her caring nature—often described as the team’s “mother hen” for the way she looks out for others. Whether it’s responding to emergencies or simply being there for someone who needs a hand, Paula brings empathy and commitment to everything she does. She truly embodies what it means to put people first.

"Paula consistently demonstrates compassion and integrity, making her a trusted and invaluable member of the team."

Drop a ❤️ to celebrate Paula!

This week, our incredible Occupational Therapy (OT) teams have been busy showcasing the heart of OT — helping people do what matters most to them.

From Newsam Ward 5’s engaging displays and ‘Coffee and Connect’ outings, to Asket’s baking group (hello Yorkshire Parkin! 🍰) and community reintegration efforts, our OTs have gone above and beyond.

We’ve also celebrated the success of our community allotment group in partnership with Season Well 🌱 — growing, cooking, and sharing healthy meals together.

Across CREST, Recovery Centre, and Assertive Outreach Team , our community OTs have proudly presented their work at the Leeds City-Wide OT Conference, highlighting how we support individuals to rebuild meaningful lives beyond hospital walls.

Together, we’ve worn green 💚, shared stories, and reflected on our shared purpose: empowering people to live valued, independent lives in their communities.
