Star of the Week – Ash Turner

February 1, 2021

Our Star of the Week this week is Ash Turner – Clinical Research Charge Nurse.

Ash was nominated for the weekly accolade for his work in promoting and delivering the RECOVERY COVID-19 trial.

Nominating Ash for the award, Consultant Nigel Trudgill wrote, “Ash Turner has been absolutely crucial to the delivery within the Trust of the vital international study RECOVERY on COVID-19 therapies. His efforts have contributed to the development of the main therapy that saves lives in COVID-19 infection – dexamethasone – becoming the standard of care throughout the world.

“The work he has done to embed Recovery on the acute medical units has been a perfect example of how to engage and support clinical teams to achieve maximal recruitment to such a critical clinical trial at a difficult time for everyone within the trust in the midst of a pandemic.

“He is proactive, engaging and always available for clinicians to go to for support. His ‘can do’ attitude, resilience and passion are great strengths and he has been a great support during very challenging times.”
