We spoke to Senior Physiotherapist, Abbas, about what the Centre means to him. Here's what he said.
“For me, MD Support Centre is my second home. I’ve never found an organization where I’ve felt this close to the people around me, through the good times and the difficult times.
“The connection I have with our service users is completely different from anything I've experienced in other areas of physiotherapy. We don't just treat someone and then discharge them. We're there throughout their journey, which means we get to know people properly and understand what is important to them.
“Even now, during annual reviews, I often hear service users describe MD Support Centre as a ‘lifeline’. Every time I hear that, it makes me really happy and proud to know that I work here and that I'm part of something that means so much to people.”
And finally, a little-known fact about Abbas...
“I used to love playing cricket. I’d hold the bat in my hands and imagine I was playing World Cup final, with six runs needed off the last ball. One day, I got a little too carried away with the imagination and actually hit a six straight into my brother’s face! Completely unintentionally, of course.
“Since then, I’ve officially retired from international cricket!”
