THE rheumatoid arthritis team at Warrington Hospital has won a top award for its excellent service to patients.
The team won the first ever Healthcare Champions Awards in recognition of its excellence in supporting patients with the debilitating disease.
They received their award from Teresa May MP, NRAS Patron and Shadow Leader of the House of Commons at an awards ceremony hosted by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Inflammatory Arthritis at the Houses of Parliament in Westminster.
Patient Pamela Redford, who has lived with rheumatoid athritis for 10 years, nominated the team as a way of thanking them for their sup- port and care.
She said: "I am delighted that Dr Salih and his team have received a Healthcare Champions award.
"Ever since I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis they have provided me with fantastic support and advice, excellent care and been there to help me live with this difficult disease.
"I owe them so much."
