It’s an honour to be recognised for this work. The maternity development has been a real achievement and makes such a difference to the experience for patients and staff alike.”
Justin Pereira, assistant director site development and Natalie’s manager, said: “I’m so proud. Natalie really deserved to win this award as she has shown so much dedication and commitment to this project.”
