SWGP director Jon Moll said: “We set up the awards two years ago as we felt it was important to recognise the hard work of primary care staff in the area. Often faced with significant challenges, our staff are constantly striving to deliver the highest possible standard of care for patients and these awards give us an opportunity to thank them and to celebrate their achievements.

During the evening staff and GP centres also donated £450 to both Shakespeare Hospice in Stratford and Myton Hospice in Warwick.

Mr Moll added: “We are delighted to have raised so much money for these two worthy causes. Both hospices play a vital role in supporting general practice and do an amazing job caring for people at a time of need.”
