Emily Spalding – Practice Manager of the Year

We are very proud to announce our very own Emily Spalding, Swan Medical Group Practice Manager, was awarded the Practice Manager of the Year Award at this year’s prestigious General Practice Awards. When asked by the organisers of the awards for comment Emily was understandably delighted:

“I was delighted to have even been nominated, and am absolutely thrilled to have been awarded Practice Manager of the Year. This year has been a particularly challenging one for all of General Practice, so I feel honoured to have been recognised despite the significant pressures we have all faced. The year has been filled with both hard work and reward! For our practice, it started with a CQC inspection in which we were awarded ‘Outstanding’. Immediately after which, we went straight into the throes of dealing with the Covid pandemic – not even time to celebrate! I’ve been very proud of our whole team’s resilience during this unprecedented time. Finishing the year, we become a Wave 1 site delivering the Covid Vaccination Programme, which has been another challenge but hugely rewarding working with 8 other local practices, and seeing the benefits of this work in vaccinating our patient population. I’d like to thank the fantastic team at Swan Medical Group who are a dedicated and talented group of people that I love working with, I couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you again for this prestigious award.”
