The Steve Hugh Award


The Steve Hugh award is given in memory of Dr Steve Hugh.

Steve was involved with Shropdoc from its earliest days. He was committed to improve the quality of our services and set the highest standards in clinical excellence. He was a major influence on the development of Shropdoc from a GP out of hours service into the complex range of services we coordinate and deliver 24 hours a day seven days a week.
As the Medical Director of Shropdoc he showed great interest not only in the services provided by ourselves but also those of other Allied health professionals. With his ethos of clinical excellence we thought it would be a fitting tribute to his memory to institute an award that is open to any health professional who can be nominated by a colleague as an example of someone providing or developing a service that goes beyond normal expectations to the benefit of patients
The award is made annually and there is a personal cash prize of £500 plus a cheque for £500 to be presented to a Charity or local project of the winner's choosing. If you would like to nominate someone for the Steve Hugh award please visit the Nominations Page.

Testimonials

"People are all too keen to find ways to be critical and are quick to take that path. On the other hand, giving out bouquets seems these days to be a sign of weakness. Shropdoc, however, you’ve got one from me – well done and may you prosper"

"Thank you to Shropdoc for the service provided yesterday – both the call handler and the doctor ,who was brilliant, helpful and professional"

"I had to use Shropdoc whilst on holiday … I wanted to make contact to let you know how fantastic the service proved to be. From the initial call to the treatment by the doctors … everything was dealt with fantastically well. … Thank you very very much."

"I cannot thank your staff enough for the assistance they gave me at a time when I was feeling very vulnerable"
