Staff Awards 2018 winners

The winners of our annual Staff Awards were announced at our glittering Staff Awards ceremony on the evening of 29th November at Hatherley Manor.

For us, the awards are a celebration of the hard work, loyalty and dedication of individuals and teams across our hospitals (Cheltenham General, Gloucestershire Royal and Stroud Maternity Unit).Teams and individual members of staff were presented with Awards after being nominated by colleagues and patients for their contributions to our services.

Shortlisted candidates for each category attended with winners announced on the night.Our Staff Awards aims to thank staff for their hard work, their innovation and for the outstanding care they provide for patients in the county.

The very popular Patient’s Choice award (see films below) was a highlight of the evening and we also recognised Long Service with awards for those with 25 years of service to the NHS.

We were fortunate to have attracted sponsors to enable us to make the awards something really special for our staff. Their involvement allows us to create links with local businesses and gives them the opportunity to attend the evening and hear at first hand some of the wonderful things our staff have done over the year. Thanks to all of them for their continued support of our Trust.

Chief Executive Deborah Lee:

“Being part of the NHS is a huge privilege, not least as it provides us all with the opportunity to make a positive impact on so many people’s lives.”

"Our shortlisted candidates and winners of this year’s awards have all demonstrated outstanding qualities and I take great personal pride in being a part of this celebration.”
