Caradoc Medical Services and Henry Schein Medical UK Announce Winner of the Practice of the Year 2013 Award
London, 17 May 2013 Caradoc Medical Services buying consortium and Henry Schein Medical UK, a leading supplier of medical products and services in the United Kingdom, announced today the winner of the inaugural 2013 Practice of the Year Award. The ceremony took place on Friday, 09 May 2013 in Loughborough, Leicestershire. The winner of this years award is Paul Hanlon, from Rosebery Medical Centre in Loughborough. The award is endowed with 10,000 of medical equipment and consumables. The buying consortium serves over 1,000 general practitioners surgeries; membership is free of charge. Henry Schein Medical teamed up with Caradoc Medical Service last year and created the Practice of the Year Award to recognise the outstanding work of those within the Primary Care market, said Amanda Whiffin, General Manager of Henry Schein Medical in the United Kingdom. Henry Schein Medical is pleased to support this award. Paul Hanlon, Business Manager at the Rosebery Medical Centre has shown that through exemplary leadership and vision the new medical centre was completed and now serves the community by offering new services and on-going preventative medicine. We would also like to thank our supplier partners Seca, Welch Allyn, Lec Medical, Sunflower Medical Furniture, Plinth 2000, Daray Medical, Vitalograph and Synergy for their support of the award. During the ceremony, Peter Masters, Business Manager of Caradoc, thanked both Henry Schein and the award sponsors for creating what is probably the biggest individual award in primary care and said he was delighted that Henry Schein has committed to sponsoring the award again in 2013/14. He added: In difficult economic times GP practices need to look at doing things differently and the example of Rosebery Medical Centre is certainly a real success not just for the finances of the project, but more importantly for the benefit of the local community that has a new medical centre providing many more services."
