Ruth Georgiou (Director)

Hello my name is Ruth.

I am a Registered Nurse for people with learning disabilities and trained in Bristol in the late 1980s. After a bit of travelling in Europe, I took the plunge and moved to London where I have held senior management roles in both residential care and hospital services for adults with learning disabilities. During this time, I have attended various courses to ensure my clinical skills remain up-to-date. I am currently a Director for CuroCare.

This is our first newsletter and we aim to circulate every quarter. To help us achieve our goals, we welcome your thoughts and views on our services. I look forward to working with you all to achieve our mission.

Elaine Sideras (Director)

Hi I’m Elaine.

I am responsible for liaison with our Architects & Builders for all new units and any upgrades to existing facilities that may be necessary.

I have been working in the care industry for the past 13 years and have seen many changes over the years. The most crucial is the safety aspect of designing a new building.

I am always on the lookout for new, inspiring ideas within the realms of care whilst on my travels. At CuroCare we aim to create a safe, welcoming, environment with a touch of 5 star hotel thrown in!

Nand Gopaul (Director of Hospital Services)

Hello my name is Nand. I am currently the Director for the Hospital Services for CuroCare. I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse and a General Registered Nurse. I was one of the 1st male nurses to be trained at the St Bartholomew's School of Nursing.

I worked in the NHS for 37 years working at senior level and my last post was a Service Manager for a large acute adult in-patient unit in East London where I spent a large proportion of my career.

I joined CuroCare Ltd in 2007 as a Registered Manager Commissioning and opened both of our homes Constance House in Enfield and our recent home Olive Eden in Tottenham.

In April this year I was appointed as Director of Hospital Services and my main role is working alongside my colleagues to ensure that the hospital units have fully trained experienced staff, providing high quality of care in a safe and therapeutic environment.

Paul Spinks (Executive Director)

Hello my name is Paul. I am a Registered Nurse for Learning Disabilities.

Previously, I managed both hospital and community services for the care provider Four Seasons and am now happy to announce that I have joined CuroCare.

I believe this is an exciting time for CuroCare as we grow new services in partnership with both NHS and Local Authorities and we have the vision and strategy to be an effective partner to the public sector.

I hope my arrival will not only help to refine and enhance our current services but also extend these in a collaborative way with new NHS commissioning organisations.

I join a committed, enthusiastic and skilled management team and look forward to meeting you all.
