Colleague Marion recognised with 'Best Trainer' award
Congratulations to UHDB colleague Marion Walker who has been recognised with a national 'Best Trainer' Award by the British Junior Cardiologists Association.
Marion, who works at Royal Derby Hospital as an Advanced Clinical Physiologist in Echocardiography, was put forward for the award by colleagues to celebrate her work supporting doctors to get additional training in echocardiography - and it gave her a welcome surprise when she received an email telling her she had won.
Marion said: "It made my day to get the award. It can be challenging to protect doctors' time to support them to get this training, but it is so valuable, so we do all we can to give doctors the best learning experience when they come and train at UHDB. It is a real team effort and it feels fantastic to be recognised."
Sarah Dury, Principal Clinical Physiologist, said Marion is an "incredibly passionate echocardiographer who dedicates so much time to training the doctors and echocardiographers to the highest standards."
She added: "I am so happy that the registrars she has trained put her forward for the award. She deserves this recognition and the whole echocardiography team are incredibly proud of her."
The awards were presented at the British Cardiovascular Society's annual meeting.
