Duncan Tennent, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, pictured and one of those recognised (as a Professor of Practice), said:

“I am delighted to be promoted to professor, I have been associated with the medical school for 15 years and look forward to furthering the links between the Trust and the university further in the future”.

Professor Andy Rhodes, Medical Director, said: “This is great news, and well deserved recognition for staff who are making real strides in their individual specialty.

“For a Trust employee to get this level of recognition requires an outstanding contribution to have been made to their clinical and academic portfolios, which is a real achievement and should not be under-estimated.

“Well done to everybody who has been recognised this year, as well as those aspiring to great things throughout the organisation.”
