Congratulations to our Employee of the Year, Huma Naqvi

October 19, 2023

Last Friday we held our 2023 Star Awards where a total of 13 awards were handed out to both clinical and non-clinical colleagues across SWB.

Our awards ceremony, which was held at Aston Villa Football Club, aims to recognise the hard work and dedication of our colleagues and volunteers, both on the frontlines and our supporting services.

Today we recognise our 2023 Employee of the Year, Dr Huma Naqvi.

Huma was appointed as the first ortho-geriatrician in the Trust around ten years ago, and since this point she has managed the whole orthogeriatric service single-handedly. She has a number of key responsibilities, such as managing the hip fracture management protocol, supporting the general surgery abdominal surgery patients in line with national protocol, and managing junior doctors in trauma and orthopaedics for several years now. This latter responsibility includes rota planning, training, teaching and mentoring.

Dr Naqvi is also the wellbeing champion for clinicians in the Trust and goes out of her way to support colleagues. On top of all this, Dr Naqvi is also the training programme director for the geriatric service.
