Ms Pimm is social care deputy manager in a care home for a not-for-profit care organisation. She has been a qualified adult registered nurse for more than 16 years and has worked in social care for just over ten years. Having worked in a variety of clinical settings ranging from cardiology to the prison services, she found that her passion lies with care of the older person and has developed specialist knowledge around supporting people who live with dementia.

Ms Pimm is committed to achieving best practice in her setting alongside the promotion of relationship-centred care – she is keen on raising awareness of the rights of the older person and ensuring that people who live in social care environments are listened to.  As part of this commitment, she is a chair of the Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire Social Care Nurse Advisory Council, raising the voice of social care nurses and those who draw on social care in the local integrated care board.

She has recently completed the Florence Nightingale Foundation Leadership Scholarship Programme. As part of the programme, she was asked to produce a quality improvement project (QIP). Through her QIP, she has been keen to highlight the levels of loneliness and social isolation that people living in care homes have been experiencing under Covid-19 restrictions, and the ways that she believes certain changes can make a difference to their experience and overall health and well-being outcomes.
