Matthew Pearson and Vivien John - Our Christmas Winners

by Kirstie Flack | Jan 06, 2017

There were two winners for December

Senior Physiotherapist Matthew Pearson from the DynamicHealth Service in Huntingdon was nominated for the treatment and advice he gave to a patient along with the exercises which has taken the patient from being unable to move, sit and drive without significant pain to now being able to walk, sit and drive for short periods.

The patient said: “It is not just the success of this episode of care but his professional manner, flexibility with treatment and encouragement which made this experience so positive for me. I would like to say a particularly big thank you to Matt, he has made a big difference to my ability to move and pain levels and I am very grateful to be almost pain free, and I know this will continue to improve with exercises and time.

vivien john - dec 16

Skills Development Lead Vivien John was nominated by the Trust’s Deputy Chief Nurse Julia Sirett, in relation to a conference Viv recently arranged for support workers, with the support of other local trusts. Julia said: "I am nominating Viv as she put her whole being into this event which was described as 'the first time I’ve ever been offered anything so useful' by one of our staff. The impact on staff was incredible - several people have said they felt valued, supported and were able to connect with others in similar roles during the day.

“The event would not have happened without Viv's passion and complete commitment to helping this group of staff feel included and supported. This was not just 'part of her job'- her enthusiasm, commitment and passion deserves recognition and listening to the comments from staff on the day, I feel this award would go a small way to demonstrating to others that when you do things with passion and commitment, that is recognized."

Also nominated this month were:
Manik Kharpate, Physiotherapist, DynamicHealth, Peterborough
Mary Burton, Administrator, iCaSH Cambridgeshire (Lime Tree Clinic)
Heidi Shooter, Clinical Nurse Specialist, iCaSH Peterborough
Kerry Hoye, Speech and Language Therapy Assistant, CYPS Cambs
Michael McMahon, Respiratory Service Lead, Respiratory Service, Luton
Sarah Bunn, Service Manager, Integrated Cluster Teams, Luton
Barbara Kazwini, SystemOne Clinical Analyst and Developer, Luton

Congratulations to everyone nominated this month.
