Congratulations to phlebotomist, Mandy Brady who has been awarded September’s Outstanding Contribution for Living Our Values Award for exceptional compassion and kindness.

Her nomination highlighted her quick action, doing all she could to honour the person’s dignity and modesty, as well as her dedication to wellness and kindness to others.

Mandy, who was shocked to be presented with the award, said: “Thank you, I was just doing my job, and I am overwhelmed to have been nominated. I would like to thank all of my colleagues for the support they gave me when I returned to work after what happened.”
