A Kilmarnock GP has won the prestigious Diabetes Project of the Year award.
Wards Medical Practice Team was recognised at the Scottish Healthcare Awards recently.
The team, led by GP Rohit Sabharwal, were the clear winner for the award after all of their amazing work to improve diabetes support for patients.
The team offered patients in person and online group consultations, as well as a guidebook, recipe book, YouTube and email resources.
Patients were said have felt more in control of their condition and had the tools they needed to continue to improve.
Dr Rohit Sabharwal, one of the GPs in the practice, explained: “Lifestyle medicine has a vital role to play in helping us to improve the health of our local population.

Vicki Campbell, Head of Primary and Urgent Care Services, added: “The work of Dr Sabharwal and the Wards Medical Practice Team to support those living with diabetes is making a real difference to those people’s lives.
“This award is amazing recognition for the team, who are really going above and beyond to support their
