Each year we celebrate the achievements of our incredible staff with a glittering night of celebration called Golden Stars.
Our first event was held in 2024 bringing together the former Hull University Teaching Hospitals Trust (HUTH) Golden Hearts awards, and the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLaG) Our Stars event.
This is our opportunity to reward and recognise staff who often go unnoticed. It’s our chance to thank them for everything they do day in, day out to provide the best possible care to our patients.
Around 400 staff attend the event, where we celebrate outstanding contributions from innovative projects, to examples of compassionate care, dedication and long service.
The event is funded through sponsorship and staff lottery monies.
