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 cheque for £500 to be presented to a Charity or local project of the winner's choosing.
