Star of the month nominations

Help us recognise and reward our most outstanding people by sharing your experience of where they have gone the extra mile.

Are you a patient, relative, carer or visitor to the Trust who has received exceptional care or service from a member of staff or volunteer?

Our Star of the Month award recognises the commitment and dedication of staff members who give a service that is over and above what is expected of them in order to make a difference to patients, visitors and/or their colleagues.

They embody our values of: compassion, communication, inclusion, respect, teamwork and professionalism. They also contribute to our Patient First goals.

Who can you nominate and how are they chosen?

Any employee, bank staff or volunteer can be nominated for an award, whether their role is front line or behind the scenes.

The nominations are received and scored by a panel of judges, which includes members of our staff, executive team, governors and board.

The winner is presented with a certificate and £100 gift voucher, and is automatically considered for the Employee of the Year award at our annual STAR awards. Two runners up are also selected for commendation and win a £25 gift voucher each.

Everyone nominated receives a personal letter from Dame Marianne, and is included in a ‘roll of honour’ on our intranet.

Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter or Facebook to see our latest winners.
