Wandsworth healthcare assistant scoops top national award

COLCHESTER, U.K. - March 25, 2014 - PRLog -- After receiving her prize from comic actor and novelist Jenny Éclair, Tinu, who has worked at The Junction Health Centre (http://www.careuk.com/the-junction-health-centre) next to Clapham Junction station since it opened four years ago, said: “I couldn’t believe it when I heard I had won the award. I just love my job and do it to the best of my ability. I’m fortunate to be part of a great team and have a really good manager who makes everyone feel like they want to do their best. We’re like one big family. I’m not a sexual health specialist but it is a large part of my role.”

The Junction Health Centre, which is run on behalf of the NHS by independent healthcare organisation Care UK, is open every day 8am-8pm offering a registered GP practice and a walk-in centre. It provides local people with advice and treatment for general health problems and also offers a range of additional services such as vaccinations and immunisations, contraception services, cervical screening, diabetes and asthma clinics and stop smoking cessation clinics.

Tinu’s manager, Nav Sahota, said: “Tinu has picked up many company awards in her time with us. She’s the type of person who always goes that extra mile and is excellent with our patients. I think it was her major contribution to an HIV awareness campaign run by the local health authority in the autumn which particularly helped her to deservedly win this prestigious award.”
