LastĀ Wednesday I met my constituent Dr Antoni Chan of the Royal Berkshire Hospital who received the award for āBest Care by a Rheumatologistā from the National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society. Voted for by patients, the Patientsā Choice Awards recognise those health professionals who have gone above and beyond to help people with axial spondyloarthritis including ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Dr Chan received a large number of nominations describing him as āinspiringā and āamazingā, going āabove and beyond his roleā.
The award was presented at the Houses of Parliament on 3 December, to coincide with the launch of NASSā new campaign Every Patient, Every Time.
Many congratulations to Dr Chan for his outstanding work.
