A Nigerian-born diabetes specialist nurse, Christabel Chinonso Uluocha, from Abia State, has been selected as a finalist for the esteemed Diabetes Nursing Awards 2024. This recognition coincides with this year’s Nurses Day celebrations.
Christabel, who works at West Cumberland Hospital, successfully competed against numerous talented individuals to secure a spot as a finalist in the Rising Star Award category. Her dedication and passion for diabetes management are deeply personal, as she lost both parents (Elder Mike and Mrs Nma Iheadindu) to complications related to the condition.
Christabel joined the North Cumbria Integrated Care (NCIC) in March 2023 and has since been committed to delivering exceptional care to her patients. She expressed her enthusiasm for her role, stating, “I love everything about my job, from my supportive team to my patients, whom I am dedicated to providing with the highest level of care, support, kindness, respect, and compassion.”
The Diabetes Nursing Awards recognize outstanding contributions to diabetes care, and Christabel’s recognition is a testament to her hard work and commitment to improving the lives of those living with diabetes.
