Associate Director of Therapies - Community Division, Christine Beck, said: "We provide some amazing services across CHFT to our patients, students, and colleagues. I know often our AHPs just think it normal delivery of care, but honestly, it is fantastic where we are leading the way in what we deliver. Let's shout out about it and get those nominations in."
