The UK social care sector continues to evolve, and leaders who bring clarity, structure, and long-term thinking are helping shape its future. Among them is Pauline Muswere, a visionary CEO and co-founder of Jessamy Staffing Solutions Limited. Through her work across homecare, supported housing, workforce development, and community-focused initiatives, she is redefining what high-quality regulated care looks like today.

This blog explores how Pauline is setting new standards, strengthening services, and building sustainable systems that place dignity, safety, and reliability at the centre of care.

A Holistic Approach to Regulated Care

One of the clearest markers of Pauline’s leadership is her commitment to creating an integrated care ecosystem. Through organisations such as:

Jessamy Platinum Homecare

Jessamy Platinum Homes

Lumina Pathways CIC

She has developed interconnected services that support individuals across different stages of need. This approach ensures that people experience continuity, stability, and personalised support, qualities that are essential in regulated care.

Raising Standards Through Training and Workforce Development

High-quality care begins with well-trained professionals. Pauline’s background as a Master British Certified Trainer places her in a strong position to support the development of a capable and confident workforce.

Her training priorities include:

Practical, hands-on learning

Compliance with regulatory expectations

Safeguarding and risk awareness

Person-centred communication skills

Leadership development within care teams

By investing in people first, she strengthens the reliability and trustworthiness of the services delivered on the frontline.

A Focus on Dignity, Safety, and Personalised Support

Regulated care can only succeed when the experience of individuals is prioritised. Pauline’s work reflects an understanding of how important it is for people to feel safe, respected, and supported in their daily lives.

Key principles she champions:

Respecting individual choices and routines

Ensuring safe and clean living environments

Promoting independence wherever possible

Creating consistent care plans that evolve with needs

Encouraging family and community involvement

These values help build a care culture where people are not defined by their vulnerabilities but supported to live with confidence.

Innovation That Supports Real People

While the care sector often struggles with outdated systems, Pauline approaches innovation with practicality. Rather than using technology for its own sake, she focuses on tools that genuinely improve care, such as:

Efficient staffing and scheduling systems

User-friendly digital monitoring

Clear communication channels for families and professionals

Training platforms that increase accessibility

This balanced, needs-driven use of technology allows services to run smoothly while keeping human connection at the centre.

Creating Opportunities for Communities

Beyond formal services, Pauline’s work through Lumina Pathways CIC emphasises community development. She believes that stronger communities lead to better wellbeing outcomes.

Her community efforts support:

People facing barriers to employment

Individuals transitioning from supported housing

Young people seeking skills and guidance

Families needing early intervention or practical support

This wider ecosystem strengthens regulated care by addressing social factors that impact health and stability.

Leadership Rooted in Integrity and Long-Term Vision

What sets Pauline apart is her focus on building systems that last. Instead of quick fixes, she prioritises:

Transparent leadership

Strong governance

Consistent quality checks

Collaborative working with regulators and local authorities

This long-term thinking helps create dependable services and stable environments for individuals who rely on care.

Conclusion

Connecting the platforms of healthcare providers could help streamline sharing of patient data, which is necessary to lessen the highly competitive atmosphere of the healthcare industry and instead promote productive collaboration among its players.

How many organizations do we need to facilitate the electronic transfer of patient information from one health care provider to another? A few, it seems.

Healtheway, an organization which grew out of a government effort to enable health information exchange, launched Carequality. Its mission: to accelerate the sharing of patient data.

Only one year ago, a group of electronic health record vendors, led by McKesson MCK +1.5% and Cerner CERN -1.17%, formed CommonWell Health Alliance to connect their platforms. Epic Systems, a dominant vendor, swiftly denounced the move as a competitive play, and said it would not join. The company questioned the purpose of the alliance, when national interoperability standards already exist.

Epic has now joined forces with various health care players, many already on the board of Healtheway, to form Carequality. They include more than twenty founding members, such as Surescripts, Walgreen WAG -0.35%, Kaiser Permanente, and Optum (UnitedHealth Group UNH +1.64%). “We represent not just vendors or health care providers, or payers, but all stakeholders,” says Mariann Yeager, Healtheway’s executive director. “This is a call for all stakeholders to participate.” The government has a seat at the table.

For years, vendors and their hospital clients locked up patient data for competitive reasons, but government legislation, including the Affordable Care Act, quickly reconfigured the economics of health care. Payment reform, with reimbursement based on a patient’s outcome, instead of fee for service, necessitates the flow of patient information from one system to another. “What happened in the past few years, vendors were focused on grabbing doctors. The world has been grabbed. Now, it’s who’s going to provide better service, and better products,” says Harry Totonis, the outgoing chief executive of Surescripts.

Yeager says Carequality’s efforts are not duplicative, because it doesn’t represent uniquely the interests of vendors, such as CommonWell, which Yeager invites to join. “It [Carequality] will neutralize some of the polarizing dynamics; the competitive interests of a few should not color the discussion,” she says. Other than Epic, vendors such as Meditech, Greenway and eClinicalWorks have joined so far. “We need the strategies [of CommonWell and Carequality] to be integrated,” says Justin Barnes, who’s in charge of industry and government affairs at Greenway, a member of CommonWell.
