A PHYSIOTHERAPIST at UHD has been recognised for a prestigious award representing his field.
On Allied Health Professionals (AHP) Day, October 14, a new award was announced to honour Professor Suzanne Rastrick's 10 years of service as Chief AHP for NHS England.
The award recognised recipients for their ‘outstanding and exceptional contribution’ to their work.
Matthew Low has worked with University Hospitals Dorset for six years and was the recipient of the prestigious award.
During his time, he has been involved in ground-breaking international research studies.
Matthew said: “I’m very proud and honoured to have received this award. It means a lot to me to be recognised at a national level and be one of the 22 well- deserving recipients across our diverse AHP workforce.
"Receiving this accolade would not have been possible without my colleagues and friends at UHD, and this award is as much for them as it is for me.”
Siobhan Harrington, chief executive officer at UHD, said: "I am delighted to see Matthew recognised in this way.
“Every day, our allied health professionals at UHD play a crucial role in helping patients live their lives as fully as possible, and Matthew is no exception. This is a much-deserved honour, and we wish him many congratulations."
