North of Scotland GPST of the Year



GPST 1/2/3s in the North of Scotland (Caledonian/Rural track) led the organisation and development of the RCGP North of Scotland GPST of the Year award as part of a ‘Promoting Excellence’ group initiative.



The judges James Douglas (GP and Faculty Provost), Jerry O’Rourke (retired GP and former AD), and Rod Sampson (GP and TPD) had a difficult decision given such a strong set of nominees.



During the #thrive conference, Daniel Pratt was presented with the award, having felt to be a worthy winner.



He is an ST2, presently working in Raigmore’s ED, and soon to start as an ST3 in Tain. He was nominated by his ES Sandy Gordon in relation to:

-being personable and popular with patients and staff

-having come through multiple hospital admissions and treatments in relation to Ewings sarcoma

-spending weekends alongside his wife working with local teenagers

-setting up and promoting Highland Wheelchair Basketball, helping give dignity and credibility to people with impaired mobility.



Well done Daniel!



Dr Rod Sampson, TPD, Caledonian Programme
