Rewarding Our Staff
We want to acknowledge and thank you staff for going above and beyond for our patients.
Each month, staff can nominate colleagues to receive the employee of the month award or the team of the month award in recognition of the support they have given to our patients, services or to their colleagues.
Staff can also nominate themselves or others in our annual Celebration of Achievement Awards which take place each September.
Patients, visitors and staff can nominate someone from our hospitals for a monthly award.
Why we reward our staff
We want our staff to feel valued in their work and we want to create a positive culture of excellence to help us maintain the highest standards of care in our hospitals.
