Advanced Nurse Practitioner in Haematology, Asha Mathew, recently received a Special Recognition Award in the Asianet News Health Care Awards 2025.
The Asianet News Healthcare Excellence Awards is an annual event in Kerala, India, that recognises outstanding achievements in the healthcare sector. Asha received her award in recognition of her many achievements as a nurse from Kerala working in the UK.
Asha is a valued member the Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust’s specialist senior nursing team and cancer care and haematology team. In 2022 she also helped support the recruitment of overseas nurses from her home country of India and continues to provide ongoing support to the Keralite nursing community at the Trust.
Outside of the Trust Asha supports terminally ill children and those who care for them through her work on behalf of the Ryan Ninan’s Children’s charity. The charity was set up in May 2014, in memory of Asha’s son Ryan who died from a brain tumour.
On receiving her award Asha said: “Although this recognition is typically reserved for those working within the state of Kerala in India, I feel very humbled that they chose to acknowledge my contributions from overseas. It’s a moment of pride and deep gratitude to receive such an honour from my homeland. I also want to express heartfelt thanks to everyone in the Trust who continues to support and inspire me on this journey.”
Jenny Ricketts Chief Nurse at the Trust said: “Asha is a constant source of inspiration to us all. Her unwavering dedication to the care and wellbeing of her patients, coupled with her deep commitment to supporting her fellow nurses, is truly admirable. We are incredibly fortunate to have her as a cherished and highly valued member of our nursing family.”
