Claire always makes me feel like a valued member of the team even when staffing levels are very low and always fights for the best interest of her team members and the rest of the staff working from Leicester.”
Well done Amar Uddin for Putting The Patient First!
- “Helpful with a complex ward patient, went above and beyond, assuring patient safety clinically. Report received from the NHS which stated: “Complex spinal fracture patient with ongoing problems with her brace / collar. Spinal fracture unstable. Orthotist attended patient despite her not being listed earlier for review and despite an extremely busy caseload, travelling from another site to assure that the patient had a review of her collar and the correct, well fitted collar for the weekend. This assured patients safety clinically and also assured patient and staff confidence to handle patient over the weekend while awaiting ongoing spinal review.”
