“We at HCT were absolutely delighted to hear the news that you and the Health Care Providers Association team have been recognised with an OBE in the New Year’s Honours list.  I know that our two organisations have a long history of working closely to deliver services to Hertfordshire residents and long may that continue during these challenging times and beyond. 

The senior management team and I hope you find time to reflect and enjoy this honour with your family and friends sometime soon and well done.”

Kind regards, Elliot

“Dear Sharon,

I have just read in the Welwyn Hatfield Times that you received the OBE in the New Year’s Honours.

I just wanted to send you many congratulations and say how pleased I am for you.

You were an amazing support to all care providers, before and during the pandemic and were always so encouraging when I was setting up and then managing Teapot.

I send you much love on your very well deserved recognition and hope you’ve had lots of sparkly on the go!”

Love Caroline Buckley xx


“Dear Sharon,

I wanted to get in touch to add to what I know will have been a large number of messages you will have received to celebrate and congratulate you about the news of your recent honour.

So well deserved following many years of such strong and inspirational leadership – not just of HCPA but in partnership with HCC and other partners across the county.

As you know, we really value our partnership with you and HCPA colleagues and providers, and with the impact of the pandemic continuing to have such significant impacts on providers and all who use care services, this partnership is critical in our continued collective approach.

However, for now many congratulations to you and your family and here’s hoping for a fab day out when you get your date to receive your honour.

Best wishes to you and yours for a happy, healthy and personally & professionally fulfilling 2022 and thanks again for all you are doing during these difficult times.”

Chief Executive

“Fantastic you Sharon and I still recall the Saturday you contacted all of the Hertfordshire care providers and explained the rollout of the 1st vaccination. Nothing was ever too much for you and your team a real credit to you. All colleagues at HCPA are so helpful and understanding and go the extra mile to support.”

Sharon,

I’m afraid I have only just caught up with news of your OBE, having been belatedly copied into Mark Lloyd’s letter to you. May I add my congratulations and say how well deserved this is. I continue to refer to HCPA and how it works with Herts as a great exemplar of an effective provider association. I can see you have been put in touch with Simon Williams regarding the Care Professional Standards Academy and I know he will keep me updated.
