This is a special award decided by nominations from patients and other members of the public for hospital staff who have made a significant impact on improving the patient experience, either for an individual patient in their work area or for the Trust.

The other staff awards are based on colleagues’ nominations or are selected by the Trust’s Chair and CEO.

Chief Executive Stacey Hunter said: “The Staff Awards are a significant event in our annual calendar and are enthusiastically embraced by our local community. They offer the opportunity to applaud our hard-working and committed people and the efforts they make in providing compassionate care for our patients.”
