Two clinicians in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have been awarded the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh’s William Cullen Prize.
Dr Janet Gardiner-Medwin accepted the prize for Excellence in Teaching on behalf of a team of trainers at the Royal Hospital for Children. Mr Lech Rymaszewski was given a prize for Excellence in Innovation, recognising his work in developing and disseminating the Glasgow Fracture Clinic redesign pathway.
The prizes were awarded at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s Celebrating Success staff dinner on 7 November 2016.
Elaine Tait, College Chief Executive Officer, said:
“We are pleased to recognise the excellent contribution the trainers at the Royal Hospital for Children have made in delivering undergraduate and postgraduate medical education in child health and paediatrics over a period of several years.
“Mr Rymaszewski’s fracture clinic concept has spread rapidly all over the UK and beyond enhancing Glasgow's openness to change and innovation. His innovative approach to the delivery of health care continues to inspire others within the health service.
“The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh has members and Fellows all over the world, but this prize particularly recognises excellence at a local level in Scotland”.
Mr John Brown, Chairman, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said:
“Last night’s event was to celebrate and applaud the achievements of colleagues who have demonstrated outstanding levels of skill, dedication, professionalism and patient care.
“This is the first year the William Cullen Prize has been presented at our Celebrating Success Event and I am delighted that Dr Gardiner-Medwin and Mr Rymaszewski have been recognised by the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh for their exceptional work.”
