Sira, a clinical hepatitis nurse, was just the type of person the charity felt needs recognition. She was nominated by colleagues at Birmingham Children's Hospital, for her hard work, dedication and role as an advocate for non-English speaking families in the Asian community. She has also raised more than almost US$ 17,000 for the hospital's liver unit.

Said Professor Deirdre Kelly, who nominated her: 'Jaswant Sira's achievements are undoubtedly due to her unique personal qualities, her quiet determination to improve standards of healthcare and support in a particularly challenging area of children's medicine.'
