Peter Aliagu
Nurse
Hello, I'm Peter. I've been a nurse for over 14 years. I'm a registered nurse with certification in public health and occupational health nursing.
Right from childhood, I've been so fascinated with care for the human body. This fascination led me to study nursing, and through that, I developed compassion for human care and the art of nursing generally. Prior to my move to the United Kingdom, I worked in different departments of hospitals in southern Nigeria. I worked as an occupational health Nurse in different field locations such as seismic, offshore, and oil rigs. My background in public health and occupational health nursing, which is geared towards disease prevention, work safety, accidents, and incident management at the workplace, helps my performance as a nurse in this Beaufort Grange care home.
Personally, nursing affords me the opportunity to touch human lives, and doing this gives me so much satisfaction

Loressell Macavinta
Senior Nurse
Hello, I am Loressell and I have been a nurse for over ten years, since completing my degree at Saint Gabriel College in the Philippines.
Before moving to the UK, I worked in a private hospital as a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit nurse for two years in Saudi Arabia; after that, I transferred to a prestigious University Hospital working on a surgical ward.
For me, nursing is dynamic, so I decided to change to a community care setting, providing care to older adults who needed help and support in their day-to-day lives. I joined Beaufort Grange as a registered nurse in 2021, I am very thankful and blessed to be part of a caring and reputable home and company.
