Doctor shortlisted for
national award
A doctor has been shortlisted for a top
national award for her work with children who have diabetes.
May Ng is a consultant paediatrician endocrinologist based at Ormskirk Hospital.
She is also clinical director of Paediatrics and Child Health.
As well as her work on diabetes, May has also made a massive contribution in the
research, training and education of doctors and medical students.
She has been shortlisted in the prestigious Asian Women of Achievement Awards
which celebrates the most extraordinary Asian women in the UK.
May has worked in the NHS for more than 20 years and already has several awards
under her belt. She holds multiple national roles which embody her passion to
improve care for children with diabetes. She has also developed policy in
relation to diabetes.
On a daily basis she works with children and families affected by diabetes
across North Merseyside and West Lancashire.
The Asian Women of Achievement Awards started in 1999 to celebrate the often
unsung Asian heroines of British life. Such women make a huge contribution in
fields as diverse as business, entrepreneurship and social and humanitarian
work.
Pinky Lilani, OBE DL, founder of Asian Women of Achievement Awards said:-
"We were thrilled this year to receive such a broad range of applications,
covering not only a broad range of sectors but also coming from across the UK.
We are proud to provide a platform to celebrate the talent and positive impact
of British Asian women in the community."
The awards evening takes place in London, on 12 May 2016.
People with sight loss in
Southport invited to attend free online skills session
RNIB's Online Today project will help
people with sensory loss get online. Blind and partially sighted people in
Southport are invited to attend a free online basic skills session to help them
get online and benefit from technology.
The event is part of RNIB's Online Today scheme to get 125,000 people with
sensory loss online.
The workshop is being delivered by partner organisation Action for Blind People,
at Galloway's Southport, 22 Wright Street, Southport, Merseyside, on Wednesday, 13

Internet use in the UK has significantly increased over recent years with 76% of
adults accessing the internet every day in 2014, compared to just 38% in 2006.
Millions of us rely on the internet for everyday tasks such as shopping, banking
and staying in touch with friends and family. However, getting online and using
technology can present many challenges for someone who is blind, partially
sighted or has hearing loss.
Andrew Coleman, Assistive Technology Coordinator at Action for Blind People,

people with sight or hearing loss in Southport will come along and find out how
