Two members of Castletown Medical Centre’s team have been honoured in the University of Manchester’s 2024-2025 Medicine Student-Led Teaching Awards.
Dr Saleem was named Best Community Teacher, while Practice Manager Debbie Longan won Best Non-Teaching Staff Member.
The awards, organised by medical students, recognise staff who excel in teaching and supporting trainees. This year saw 47 high-quality nominations, with Dr Saleem and Debbie standing out for their contributions.
Dr Saleem said: “I am honoured to win this award, and I am so grateful for the hard-working team at Castletown Medical Centre, who support me teaching the medical students.
“Teaching is a passion of mine, and to win an award for doing something that I love is humbling. I would also like to thank our fantastic patients, who accommodated the medical students so well. You have given the students an unforgettable experience and I really appreciate your kindness.”
Humbled
Debbie added: “I am humbled but absolutely thrilled to win the award for Best Non-teaching Staff Member. This award is a testament to the great work we do as a team here at Castletown Medical Centre.
“We strive to continue to provide the ongoing high-quality teaching and support for our medical students, particularly with the pressures we are facing in General Practice.
“Thank you to the Manchester Medical Students for their kind nominations, and we look forward to meeting and working with our next medical students in the autumn.”
The winners will receive their awards at the Medical School’s Celebration of Achievement Evening in Manchester later this year.
Manx Care congratulated both on their well-deserved recognition.
