Trudy Do, practice manager, said: “Swati’s readiness to put patient needs first, even giving up their own free time, not only enhances patient outcomes but also sets a benchmark for quality standards in our GP Practice.”

Dr Syed, GP added: “Swati’s empathetic nature has not only aided in the healing of our patients but also in fostering a supportive environment in our facility – they are a pillar of strength for our team.”

Awards are currently being voted on by members of the public.
