Peterborough hospital named training hospital of the year
This award is based upon trainee feedback, looking at the educational quality and experience gained in the previous year by trainees on rotation in the region’s hospitals. Peterborough rated highly in both clinic and theatre exposure, with an emphasis on the number of core cases the trainees need to complete training.

Hide AdAndy McKee, Orthopaedic Tutor at North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust said: “This is a massive achievement in a year for our team at Peterborough City Hospital, who only just missed out on the main podium prize. But the main mention must go to Anne Uddin, who as the rota coordinator is the unsung hero for Orthopaedic Training in Peterborough. She coordinates the clinic and theatre experience provided based on trainee need.
“I would also like to thank all members of staff who have contributed to our trainees’ experience, from clinic, wards and theatres, to the admin staff who coordinate our activity and my Consultant colleagues who provide the direct training.”
Orthopaedic Consultant, Mr Amresh Singh also picked up an award as Trainer of the Year for East Anglia. He was awarded the Murray Mathewson trophy, with special mention to his devotion to providing individual teaching and training opportunities, even from home during these difficult times.
Prizes were also scooped up by trainees Rachael Fisher and Mahmoud Awadallah who came first and second in the short presentation category, and Kate Spacey was runner-up in the main podium category for Projects Completed at Peterborough.
