Thanks University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity for an amazing night #UHDAwards2025. Lorraine Tonge and I are still recovering from the shock of bringing home the Chair award. You can see from our smiles how happy we are. This would never have been possible without the support of #TeamMatNeoUHD
