Position: Senior play specialist at Birmingham Children's Hospital
WHAT HAVE YOU WON?
I've won the Hospital Play Specialist regional award for the Midlands,organised by the Rays of Sunshine children's charity. On 14 March allthe regional winners will go to an awards ceremony where the overallwinner will be named, with a prize of a trip to New York!
HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOU WERE NAMED REGIONAL WINNER?
I was delighted. The hospital held an anonymous ballot for staff andthen the nominations were endorsed by families we've worked with. I'm soproud that people I work with went to the trouble of putting pen topaper and saying such nice things.
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WON?
I don't know how to answer that question - I enjoy working withchildren. I'm a child advocate; if I can do anything to help them, Iwill. I'm quite a shy person and don't like to boast about myachievements.
