Celebrating Long Service Award Winners at the Notts LMC AGM & Awards Evening 2025
On Thursday 2 October 2025, Louise Woodward and Paul Wade had the pleasure of attending the Notts LMC AGM & Awards Evening, where NATH proudly sponsored the Long Service Award.
The evening was a true celebration of dedication, compassion, and achievement across primary care, and it was wonderful to see so many deserving colleagues recognised for their contribution to our local NHS community.
A Night of Celebration and Connection
What a great evening showing collaboration between the LMC and the training hub! A room full of people were shown what the Training Hub can offer. James compared the night, wearing both LMC and NATH βhatsβ at times, supporting the link between the two organisations.
NATH were sponsoring the event and the prestigious long service awards. Our own team of Paul and Louise presented the wards to over 20 GPs, showcasing our investment in primary care across the county.
- James Waldron
It was a lively and heart warming event, hosted by none other than our very own James Waldron, who brought his trademark enthusiasm and energy to the evening as MCing, keeping spirits high and smiles wide throughout the night!
Celebrating the Winners
