As reported by The Royal College of General Practitioners, Dr Laura Bunting, Broughshane Medical Centre, has been awarded GP of the Year 2022

RCGPNI’s GP of the Year Award is nominated and judged by patients, to recognise the tireless work GPs and their practice teams have done throughout the pandemic.

Dr Laura Bunting, 2022 GP of the Year commented:

“I am truly humbled and delighted to have received this accolade. It means so much to me that my patients took time out of their busy days to nominate me for this award and it is heartening to know that how valued general practice is. I also want to thank the fantastic team at Broughshane Medical Centre for all of their tireless work and support over recent years.”

“It is a deeply challenging time for general practice in Northern Ireland and there have been a lot of long days. Receiving this award, and knowing my patients value the care I provide, makes the difficult days’ worth it.”

Dr Laurence Dorman, Chair of RCGP Northern Ireland, commented:

“I would like to thank all the patients who took time to nominate our GPs and GP Practices for our Annual Awards. Year on year, we receive a large number of nominations, and this perfectly illustrates the high value people across Northern Ireland place on their local GP practice. I also want to congratulate my colleague, Dr Laura Bunting. The person-centred care she provided for her patients had compassion and quality at its heart and this is a richly deserved accolade.”
