Team NWAngliaFT's achievements
We are very proud of the achievements of our staff and volunteers and it is important to us to celebrate them. There are many examples of how colleagues have gone the extra mile to ensure they provide outstanding care to our patients.
Here are some examples of how staff from across the Trust are being recognised for their talent and skills, outside of our internal award schemes:
Accolades for consultants working with baby loss and high-risk pregnancy families
National awards recognising support offered to families suffering baby loss and exceptional care given to high-risk pregnant patients have seen two local consultants being honoured.
The two Obstetrics and Gynaecology consultants from North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust beat off competition from NHS and community workers from over 100 Trusts across the UK to receive accolades.
Supporting families who have endured the heartbreak of baby loss is the Mariposa International and the Saying Goodbye Charity, whose annual awards recognise outstanding healthcare professionals in this field.
The recent prestigious awards ceremony in London included the presentation of the OBGYN of the Year award, which honours a medical professional who has made a profound impact on the lives of those affected by baby loss.
At this year’s ceremony, held only a few weeks ago, Dr Lukasz Polanski, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist (pictured below) at Peterborough City Hospital, was honoured with the Special Recognition Award.
Judges said this award acknowledged his outstanding commitment, compassion, and contributions to supporting bereaved families during their most difficult times.
Meanwhile, Consultant Obstetrician Dr Rabia Zill-e-Huma, a Maternal Medicine Specialist at Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon, is the proud recipient of not one, but two highly coveted awards at the national and regional level.
The first was the "National Maternity Unit Marvels (MUMS) Winner Award" given by Baby Lifeline UK at a ceremony held at the House of Common in the family’s nominations category for providing exceptional care during the pandemic to high-risk pregnancies.
These awards celebrate incredible healthcare professionals who go above and beyond to ensure safe and compassionate maternity and neonatal care, with Dr Rabia being nominated by a patient under her care.
Judges commented that Dr Rabia (pictured above) provided “ supportive and excellent care by going the extra mile-outstanding care provided in a complex pregnancy that resulted in a positive outcome. Dr Rabia embodies the caring ethos that all doctors should aspire to”.
She was also awarded an ‘East of England Obstetrician of the Year Winner Award’ by the East of England Perinatal Maternity and Neonatal Care Forum held at Newmarket Racecourse - following several nominations by her multi-professional colleagues and trainees who commented that: “Dr Rabia exemplifies qualities such as vision, empathy, resilience, and the ability to inspire others. She fosters a positive work environment, encourages professional growth and leads by ensuring the team achieves both individual and collective goals. She is a very kind and helpful human being as well”.
North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust Maternity Consultant Tarang Majmudar said: “The whole department and indeed the entire Trust is so very proud of Dr Lukasz and Dr Rabia on their wonderful achievements and much deserved recognition for the excellent work they and their teams do in caring for, and supporting, so many patients who face anxious and difficult times.”
