Sunday, 10 August 2025 15:55

Two staff from the Castletown Medical Centre have been given awards after being nominated by university medical students.

Dr Sabeel Saleem won Best Community Teacher, and practice manager Debbie Longan is being recognised as Best Non-Teaching Staff Member.

The teaching awards are organised by students from University of Manchester, some of whom did their placements at the Castletown surgery.

They're given to medical staff who students felt went above and beyond in supporting them with their training.
