Staff Awards
We want to recognise the efforts of our staff over the last year.
We’ve received more than 500 nominations for our teams and colleagues in this year’s Staff Awards scheme and now you can see who’s been shortlisted.
“During a difficult year, we’d like to say a big thank you to all staff for supporting our services and contributing to the team effort of keeping our patients safe, says Chairman David White.
He added: “These awards provide an insight into the achievements of many staff and teams across our hospitals. Everyone has worked exceptionally hard through the pandemic and it is a privilege to honour our outstanding colleagues.”
The shortlist for each award is shown below with the exception of the Research Award which will be published in the next few weeks. The winners of each category will be announced in a series of presentations during October and November.
