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
