Congratulations to Cristina Szentes, Alcohol Liaison Clinical Nurse Specialist, who was invited to 10 Downing Street as part of national celebrations marking the NHS's 78th birthday.
Cristina was recognised for her outstanding work supporting patients affected by alcohol dependency. Through her compassionate, person-centred approach and close partnership working with community and voluntary sector organisations, she has helped improve outcomes for patients while supporting long-term recovery.
Cristina attended the reception on behalf of the Trust and the wider Alcohol Care Team, whose work continues to make a significant difference to patients' lives.
Cristina and her team said:
"The Alcohol Care Team exemplifies the very best of the NHS, improving outcomes, restoring dignity, and creating opportunities for lasting change. Moving beyond a purely medical model, the team recognise the wider determinants of health and empower individuals to believe they deserve safety, recovery, and hope."
Congratulations, Cristina, on this well-deserved recognition.
