‘I have support from some wonderful colleagues’Health Award winner Dr Nick on last year’s win
I have the support of some wonderful colleagues, such as Oncology Nurse Specialist Sister Robyn Lynch.”
The citation said the award was for a doctor ‘whose care has been described as outstanding – time and time again.’
The judges heard how Mr Matthews had become a lifelong friend to families whose loved ones he had treated.
Now, a year on, the search has begun to find the 2020 Best of Health Award winners.
This year’s awards have the support of headline sponsors, South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust as well as the category sponsors who are East Coast Fitness, Wonderful Wig Company and NHS Sunderland CCG.
The deadline for nominations for the Best of Health Awards is Monday, April 6.
Judges will meet to decide on the shortlist of contenders in each category on Wednesday, April 8.
Then, the awards’ glittering grand finale will be held at the Roker Hotel on Thursday, April 30, where all of this year’s winners will be announced – and we will be there to bring you full coverage of the occasion.
After the competition has ended, watch out for a supplement in the Sunderland Echo and the Shields Gazette, filled with more interviews and photographs from the night to remember.
But before then, we need to find the heroes to help to
