Dr Gladwinfield was nominated by a number of people, having already established herself as ‘THE beacon of our community’ in Rossendale, Lancashire, before the pandemic through the setting up of a weekly group for mums, and the Rossendale Wellbeing Weekend. Since the pandemic, she has ‘become everyone’s favourite local GP’. Dr Gladwinfield has been posting ‘informative and no nonsense’ videos on Facebook that have been a ‘constant source of reassurance, guidance and positive support for valley residents during lockdown’. She has also developed partnerships with local businesses and retailers to support her wellness initiatives. Emma Litt, a member of the ‘Rossendale Mums Matters’ group, says: ‘She is an inspiration with boundless energy and kindness.’
