Welcome to the 2016 Thank you Awards which celebrates the outstanding dedication and achievements of individuals and teams who work at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
All of the individuals and teams nominated have worked above and 6 beyond the call of duty; going that extra mile to ensure that patients receive only the very best care. Tonight’s winners and highly commended nominees highlight the very best examples of team working, commitment, dedication, leadership and innovation. Without a doubt, the finalists are a credit to themselves and their teams.
Each nomination has been through a strict and rigorous judging process by a panel which includes senior nursing, medical and management representatives, voluntary groups, governors and patient representatives. We received over 300 nominations in total and the judges were unanimous in the view that all of the nominations could have been finalists. All the nominees should feel rightly proud that their teams and patients felt them worthy of a nomination.
The Thank you Awards play an important part in the Trust’s ability to show its appreciation to the many dedicated individuals who make up our large team and we know from experience what a positive impact the awards have on the individuals involved, both personally and professionally.
May we also take this opportunity to sincerely thank our sponsors, Sheffield Hospitals Charity, The Sheffied Star and the Royal Voluntary Service (RVS), for their ongoing support. You can find out more about both charities on the inside back cover of this programme.
Finally, we would like to say a big ‘thank you’ for the contribution that all of the nominees and indeed all of our staff make in ensuring that our patients receive the best possible care and that Sheffield Teaching Hospitals is a happy and fulfilling place to work. We hope you will join us in congratulating all concerned.
