< Back Kavanna Helliwell Shining Star Award Winner Kavanna has stood out this year because she has been taking on more and more responsibility at the practice and is clearly growing and thriving in her job. She is gaining confidence and is always trying to learn and find better ways to do things. And all of this at the same time as being a kind and friendly person who is always checking in on others and making sure they are ok. It is such a pleasure to work with Kavanna. Always ready to help everyone and goes above and beyond her role. Never in a bad mood and nothing too much trouble. Always provides help that goes above and beyond. We would ALL be lost without her here at LGP. She is a great supporter, handles everything that she is tasked with. "Kavanna is an aspiring Practice Manager. Since COVID she has taken on a challenging role running the reception area, a shy person it has been great to see her come out of her shell. She has had some fantastic ideas in the Practice and is a very calming nature in the Practice. Practice Management can be very daunting but with all the challenges thrown at her she has certainly shown she had what it takes. Kavanna should win this shining star award because thats what she is." Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link

< Back Lisa Mitchell Wellbeing Award Winner If i can nominate Lisa everyday, I would. Since taking over the role of our Practice Manager almost 3 years ago, she has completely turned it around. She has ensured our working environment is a nicer place to be i.e., part revamp in many areas both clinical and non clinical, employed more staff to take the pressure of in many areas, invested in staff to upskill when they have shown and interest and worked with the partners to increase pay to ensure that all staff members are fully appreciated. On top of all this, she has always been considerate and fair with all staff members, arranged wellbeing events for the staff and ensures that staff are fully supported in their working environment. Even after having a tough year herself personally, Lisa always manages to come in with a smile for everyone and still keeps a lovely approachable manner. If Carlsberg did Practice Managers.....

She is now sadly retiring. She will be greatly missed by everyone. She always brings in yummy baked goods and provides plants from her garden for staff to take home. She is always looking after others. Now its time to have some time for herself and enjoy retirement! Lidia is the most amazing nurse caring and professional an excellent teacher and takes care of all of the staff aswell as patients I’m going to be so sad when she finally retired she is such and amazing nurse and I don’t think we will ever get another one like her Amazing and dedicated to her job. Very caring and brilliant with her Diabetic Patients, and a credit to the NHS Lidia has worked in the area providing excellent patient care for 20 years and we will miss her when she retires this year. "Lidia has worked for LGP over 20 years. She was one of the first Nurses to become a non medical prescriber. She was the only Nurse Mentor in HMR accepting students until the new mentoring scheme came out. She has trained many students over the years externally and internally. Patients and staff love her, she is kind, empathetic and extremely hard working. Lidia is aware that there is a lack of sexual health services in the borough and instead of retiring (which she originally was going to do) she is continuing to provide a service whilst training others to ensure they can effectively take over the service. Not only has she supported Nurses but also supports our Paramedics, STs and FY2 doctors along with a raft of other students. Lidia deserves this award for her commitment to General Practice." Due to retire but still sporting the practice and her community. The patients have nothing but praise for her care and support. She is also an inspiration to her colleagues. She works hard always willing to go the extra mile and support those he are struggling. She will always give her own time to those that are willing to learn.

She started as temporary 2 year contract and we now hope she never leaves !! Jan is the kindest person, nothing is too much trouble and everything is done with a smile.

< Back Sue Moncaster Above the Call Award Winner "Sue has worked so so hard to make the Access Service what it is today. She has worked tirelessly day and night put in extra hours at the weekend and still comes into the team with a smile on her face and a positive attitude. She has great relationships with the bank staff and all value her just as much as our team does. She is very passionate about the clinics that are held and ensuring patients have the best experience they can. Sue worked so hard on introducing Cytology into the service and we are all so proud of her every day. She makes us smile so much and is always there for us whether its a bad or good day. WE LOVE YOU SUE! <3" For always stepping in and going above and beyond for the team. "I strongly feel this award should go to Sue as I believe her commitment to the role she has is so admirable given it is an extremely difficult area to manage logistically and mentally due to so many moving parts/ changes in circumstances. I have worked with many people and organisations that manage the coordination of services and I know this is not an easy task to manage, however, Sue is just built differently and still does it with a smile on her face, which I have not seen before and is a first for me haha. she has an amazing commitment to her role and team and works all the hours this universe sends to ensure everything continues to run smoothly for patients and clinical staff (amazing)" Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link

< Back Pennine Surgery Reception Team Excellence in Reception Award Runner Up "I have worked across many surgeries and I have to say that the team at Pennine always go above and beyond. They never react to even the harshest of interactions when patients are unwell frustrated and angry and remain ever professional. They aim to help out where they can and often are able to sort out problems at source which are more social or administrative despite the patients' insistence on speaking the doctors about them. They guide and comfort and also have amazing clinical acumen for non clinicians - able to point out a regular patient who may look unwell , even in the local supermarket! and get them booked in. They help those who are frail and elderly to navigate a difficult system of bookings referrals results etc and they always look after us clinicians - they protect us so we can look after the unwell and take a lot of the brunt of the frustration themselves as well as keeping me fed and watered. I am super proud of our amazing reception team at Pennine. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link
