This accolade recognises Newmedica’s commitment to championing gender equality, supporting women’s career development, and fostering a truly inclusive work environment.
Among the many talented women working at Newmedica Shrewsbury is Kathryn Davidson, Operations Manager at the eye-health clinic and surgical centre.
She joined Newmedica Shrewsbury three years ago, with 20 years of experience in the healthcare sector behind here.
Kathryn said: “I love working at Newmedica Shrewsbury because I feel valued as an individual, so I’m very pleased to hear about this award because it really is deserved.
“For me, it’s crucial to be part of a company that prioritises excellent patient care. Additionally, I get to collaborate with an incredible team, all committed to providing the highest-quality care to our patients.”
After leaving school, Kathryn completed her studies in health and social care before pursuing a career that saw her undertake various managerial positions and supporting the team responsible for patient care.
Newmedica Shrewsbury has supported her career development since she joined, and in 2023 she completed the company’s Aspire management programme. In September she will go on to do the Ascend management programme for senior managers.
Kathryn added: ‘Being encouraged to grow and to be trusted to increase my development and responsibility is incredibly fulfilling. Working here has truly made me feel that I’m making a difference to people’s lives every day.’
