My name is Laxmi Gurung, and I am originally from Nepal. I came to London to pursue my nursing career, driven by a passion for providing high-quality care and a strong commitment to continuous learning. I firmly believe that my willingness to learn, dedication, and passion for nursing have contributed significantly to where I am today.
I have been working in the UK care sector since 2008, gaining extensive experience in delivering person-centred care and supporting the wellbeing of our residents. Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on providing excellent care while developing strong leadership skills. These qualities enabled me to progress from Registered Nurse to Nurse Unit Manager, and subsequently to Clinical Deputy Manager.
I have also successfully completed a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management, which further strengthened my understanding of effective leadership within health and social care. This qualification reinforced my belief that excellent nursing practice, combined with strong leadership, is essential for promoting high-quality care, improving outcomes, and increasing overall satisfaction for residents, families, and staff alike.
One of my core leadership beliefs is that “Great care starts with great people. When we care for our staff, they are empowered to provide outstanding care for our residents.”
This philosophy aligns closely with Signature’s values of compassion, respect, teamwork and integrity. As a leader and Nurse, I strive to create an environment where both residents and employees can thrive. This is why I am proud to be part of the Signature Hendon family, working alongside dedicated colleagues who share the same commitment to enriching the lives of those we care for.
