Dawn Rhodes, Contraception and Sexual Health Nurse, based in Lowestoft, has been awarded the Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust’s latest Shine a Light award.

Sarah Montagu, Clinical Nurse Manager said: “The rest of the team and I are very grateful for the ongoing support Dawn has given us in the Lowestoft clinic over the past year.

“She has been working many extra hours which has allowed the clinic to function much more smoothly and to maintain capacity to see patients which would have been lost if she had not been prepared to go the extra mile.

“Dawn has worked in the Contraception and Sexual health service (iCaSH) for 25 years. Her positive attitude and enthusiasm for work are an inspiration to all of the staff working in the Lowestoft Clinic.”

The “Shine a Light” scheme allows members of the public to nominate staff who have delivered a fantastic service and made a real difference to their lives. Trust staff are also encouraged to nominate their colleagues.

On winning the award Dawn said: “Thank you to everyone who nominated me for this award It has “shone a light” on the Lowestoft iCash team and we are very proud of the work our team does.”

Every month a member of staff or a team are selected from a list of nominations as the “Shine a Light” award winner. If you would like to nominate a member of staff or a team who has gone the extra mile for you, you can nominate online at www.cambscommunityservices.nhs.uk
