Doctor award – Caroline Calvert with Lewis Morrison(Chair of BMA Scotland)
Dr Caroline Calvert, a partner at Bruntsfield Medical Practice in Edinburgh, has been awarded the ‘Doctor Award’ for her commitment and passion to her job and providing excellent NHS care for people in Scotland.
Dr Calvert was applauded for her exceptional skills as a doctor and her care and compassion towards her patients. She was nominated for the award by a patient who said: “I have been fortunate to know many fine doctors, nurses and health professionals who are a credit to the NHS; but none more so than my wonderful GP, Dr Caroline Calvert – a partner at Bruntsfield Medical Practice, Edinburgh, who has worked with me since she joined the practice in 2008.”
Dr Calvert picked up her award on an evening where the achievements of NHS staff, support workers, volunteers and specialist teams from across Scotland were celebrated through 17 diverse categories. The awards recognise their significant contribution, hard work and dedication to the delivery of high quality health care throughout Scotland and are run by the Daily Record and in partnership with NHSScotland and the Scottish Government.
David Dick, editor of the Daily Record and Sunday Mail, said: “Every year across Scotland, thousands of healthcare professionals and volunteers dedicate their lives to providing the best possible care to the people of Scotland. Our Scottish Health Awards once again provided us with a chance to recognise and celebrate the hard work and commitment of the teams and individuals, whose contribution often goes unrecognised.”
The 17th annual Scottish Health Awards 2018, the most prestigious awards ceremony for professionals across NHSScotland and their partners, were hosted by top comedian Fred MacAulay, and were held on Thursday night (1 November) at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange.
