My wish is that the recognitions given today go some way to show our deepest appreciation and thanks for everything you do, to enable Diaverum to provide life-enhancing renal care to our patients".

Kirsty Bashforth, Diaverum's Chief Business Officer, added: “I was personally amazed by the many stories that were brought forward from our markets across the world... and yet, only a fraction of the acts of competence, passion and inspiration that take place across our organisation every day.
