A TEIGNBRIDGE healthcare worker has been named as a finalist in two national care awards.
Daniela Mustatia, who works at Sefton Hall Nursing Home in Dawlish, has been nominated in the Care Registered Nurse category in the annual National Care Awards.
She is also in the running for the Social Care Nurse Award in the Great British Care Awards.
The winners will be announced at gala events being held in London and Bristol in November.
Daniela said: ‘It is a huge honour to be nominated for two highly respected awards. I am extremely lucky to be part of a highly skilled team at Sefton Hall and it would not have been possible for me to get this far without their support.’

‘She is an outstanding nurse and we wish her every success.’
