The award ceremony took place on March 1st at the London Academy of Medical Sciences. Joy was presented with the award along with £1000 training bursary for continuing professional development. Joy was very humbled and pleased to have achieved the award but, as usual, bemused at all the attention as she feels she's just doing her job. Hopefully this award shows her how much we appreciate all that she does and the amazing effect she has had to so many lives by just doing her job. THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO NOMINATED
