A NORTH-EAST healthcare provider has picked up three awards for its services.

Heritage Healthcare, in Darlington, was rewarded for its quality, health and safety and environmental standards by Worldwide Quality Assurance.

The company arranges for carers to provide help people in their own homes, who may have suffered an accident or illness, or who suffer from a disability.

Glenn Pickersgill, director of Heritage Healthcare, said: “Providing quality care is of paramount importance to us and the standards demonstrate our efficiency.

“This accreditation is testament to the hard work and dedication of the staff and our commitment to the environment.”

Tracey Barber, general manager at Worldwide Quality Assurance, said: “To achieve these awards, companies’ systems are put to the test during comprehensive inspections and Heritage Healthcare measured up to the very demanding requirements.”
