Tincy Jose has been honored with the”Best Nurse of the Year” award from MALAYALAM UK, a well-deserved recognition for her exceptional dedication and service. She is set to be honored during the upcoming Malayalam UK Awards Night, which is scheduled to take place in Glasgow on the 28th of October.
The judging committee, in their evaluation, recognized Tincy Jose as the epitome of dedication, sincerity, and philanthropy, ultimately choosing her as the “angel of angels.” Tincy’s commitment to serving the underprivileged has been a lifelong pursuit, stemming from the very outset of her nursing career. Her initial employment was at the Attappadi Bathany Medical Centre, a charitable hospital located in a tribal region. Tincy’s journey led her to the United Kingdom in March 2008, and she commenced her service at the National Health Service (NHS) in 2014.
Tincy’s dedication and actions in support of Parkinson’s patients were truly exceptional. Upon identifying herself as a Parkinson’s patient, she committed herself to provide invaluable services as a healthcare worker to those battling the same condition. Among her many contributions, she also played a vital role in advancing the research for a Parkinson’s disease cure. It’s worth noting that even after two centuries since Dr. James Parkinson initially defined the symptoms, a definitive cure for this ailment remains elusive. Speaking with Malayalam UK News, Tincy shared that although she didn’t personally benefit from the research she participated in, she hopes that her efforts will ultimately benefit future generations afflicted by the disease.
Tincy Jose is a nurse in the acute medical unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King’s Lynn in Norfolk. During her tenure in the NHS, Tincy received many accolades. She received the Volunteer Award from Parkinson’s UK in 2022 and the HSJ Patient Safety Award in 2023, making Malayali nurses in the UK very proud. Being able to be a part of the BBC podcast on Parkinson’s was a great recognition for Tincy as a Malayali nurse. Despite the disease, Tincy still works as an acute care nurse, which is full of challenges. From October 2021, Tincy has been an active member of the NHS staff group working and living with the Parkinson’s Group. Tincy led and participated in a charity walk to raise money for Parkinson’s UK, a charity for research into Parkinson’s disease. In addition to this, Tincy had the opportunity to represent the Parkinson community in the ministerial meeting held at Parliament in March 2023. Including this, Tincy has had the opportunity to come to the British Parliament twice and interact with the MPs.
Tincy, the youngest daughter of the late Joseph and Mariakutty from Oliyappuram Karikunnel near Koothattukulam in Kerala, is married to Binu Chandy, who works as a sales assistant. The couple is blessed with two children: Alex Binu, currently a Year 11 student at Marshland High School, and Alan Binu, who is in Year 7 at Spalding Grammar School.
Her husband’s brother, Biju Chandy, along with his family, resides in Leicester, while sister, Jisha Nelson, and her family have settled in London. Tincy expressed that the unwavering support of her extended family, including her husband and children, is all she needs. Biju Chandy, Tincy’s brother-in-law, who has firsthand knowledge of her activities, enthusiastically encouraged her to submit nominations for the award. Tincy’s lifelong role model has been her sister and nurse, Reeni Saji, who is presently dedicatedly serving at AP Varki Memorial.
The competition for the Best Nurse category at the Malayalam UK Awards night garnered a tremendous and enthusiastic response from across the United Kingdom. Among the remarkable finalists were Biji Jose, a dedicated nurse at Ormer Park Surgery in Belfast, Bindu Abraham, an accomplished senior charge nurse and nurse specialist within the Hemophilia Nobody’s Immunology Department at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, along with Tincy Jose.
The three-member committee, led by Minija Joseph, the head nurse at King’s College Hospital, carefully selected the best nurse. Joining Minija Joseph on the panel were Jenny Caguioa and Kerry Walters, both distinguished healthcare leaders within the NHS
