View our gallery of 2017 winners here:
Compassion in Practice Award
– Aimed at our clinical staff this award seeks to recognise those who put our patients’ needs first at all times. Someone caring, compassionate and dedicated who excels in providing high standards of care.
Isabel Lamb, staff nurse on ward 18 at Scunthorpe hospital
Unsung Hero Award
– There are many roles in our ‘back office functions’ that deserve recognition. The unsung hero award is for that special person who makes a difference day-in, day-out but goes largely unnoticed.
James Wilson, medical electronics, Grimsby
The Achiever Award
– Each team has one, the ‘get things done’ person. The achiever is a vital cog in the wheel and always delivers, no matter what. They often exceed expectations and give their all to ensure deadlines are met. They get things done, on time, every time.
Garry Cowling, ward manager, Scunthorpe
The Innovator Award
– The innovator is someone who succeeds at making changes to clinical practice. They could have redesigned services, pushed the boundaries on a research project or just brought those light bulb moments to life. We can all have good ideas, but the innovator makes them a reality.
Dr Namita Singh
Rising Star Award
– From somebody taking their first tentative steps of their NHS career to the subject expert in the team who’s come from outside the organisation. This award recognises newcomers to the Trust who have already made a difference and are set for a bright future.
Dr Odunlami
Sparkle Award for volunteers
– We rely on our volunteers for many things; from that friendly face when visitors arrive on site to managing the patient library, helping out on the wards and in the chapel. This is our small way of recognising and thanking them for their outstanding contribution.
Chplaincy volunteers, Grimsby
Team of the Year Award (non-clinical)
– Are you proud of your team? Have you and your colleagues excelled this year? Perhaps you’ve exceeded expectations or maybe you just work together exceptionally well and would like to see that recognised.
