Yvonne Welsh, a well known and popular nursing assistant at the Arran War Memorial Hospital, has received her regional award clinical support worker of the year at Our Health Heroes awards.
She picked up her award, reported by the Banner in October, at a special ceremony at London’s OXO Tower. Yvonne was nominated by her colleagues at the Lamlash hospital, who refer to her as the backbone of the nursing team where she has worked for more than 17 years.
From 930 nominations across the UK, judges selected 33 shortlisted finalists and regional winners to attend the award ceremony, which celebrates the unsung healthcare heroes from across the UK who go above and beyond in their roles every day.
