Padraig Cooper is Head Chef at Arbroath Infirmary, part of NHS Tayside and one of our healthyliving award plus holders. We asked him what he thought of the award and what benefits it has brought:

  • Q. What were your main reasons for applying for the healthyliving award?
  • A. The healthyliving award
     is a direct requirement for NHS establishments as per Nicola Sturgeon’s directive.
  • Q. Do you feel working towards and achieving the healthyliving award has been worthwhile?
  • A. Definitely. Working within the health-care setting, I feel we have a duty to promote and supply healthier food.
  • Q. Would you recommend the healthyliving award to other caterers?
  • A. Yes. People are becoming increasingly aware of and are looking for healthier choices, therefore the healthyliving award
     will be attractive to these people and would benefit any business.
