A volunteer at North Middlesex University Hospital has been shortlisted in the Volunteer of the Year Award at this year’s NHS Parliamentary Awards.

Deborah Quinton has been announced as the regional winner of the award in London and has also been shortlisted for the national award.

Deborah began volunteering in the cardiology department at North Mid in October 2020. She supports the service to call patients to remind them of their appointments, informing them the time they should expect a call from the team or when to arrive for their appointment. In the period Deborah has been with North Mid, she has supported over 8,000 patients. 

The Awards recognise health and care staff and volunteers for their contribution to the NHS, and individuals and teams are nominated by the hospital’s local Member of Parliament. Deborah was nominated by David Lammy, MP for Tottenham.

The Ceremony will take place on Wednesday 5 July, to coincide with the NHS’ 75 Birthday. You can view the full shortlist on the NHS Parliamentary Awards website.
