A doctor of foetal medicine from Rochdale was presented the Public Service Award at Fusion 2014
Padmini is a doctor of foetal medicine working for four hospitals across the North West.
Her role as a Foetal Medical Advance Practitioner Ultra-Sound sees her work in Oldham, Rochdale, Fairfield and North Manchester hospitals.
Her full-time job does not stop when she gets home as she is also a chef at Sanmini’s, the family’s restaurant based in Ramsbottom town centre.
When Mini’s not with her three grandchildren or running her successful cookery academy, she likes to get involved with charity work.
On top of her two roles she also finds time to run a series of community events. She helps to organise the annual Sakthi event, which is now in its 17th year and held at the Ramsbottom Civic Hall.
She said, “I feel extremely elated. It seems magical. What I have done in the past I was not expecting any reward. I can’t believe it.”
She was presented the award by Ishwer Tailor on behalf of Fusion.
