Our annual awards ceremony has therefore been renamed this year to reflect the superheroes that deserve special recognition for their work. Usually, we would gather for a ceremony in person but due to the restrictions that are still in place across our hospitals to limit the risk of infection spread, we have organised an online event to celebrate our award winners this year. Stories of colleagues going the extra mile for their patients in the most difficult of circumstances, developing new initiatives to make their care better or supporting their teams in achieving great outcomes together, have been submitted in dozens of nominations we received. This year our awards also reflected our trust vales of Patients first, Working Together and Always Improving - guiding principles that have steered our course over the past 18 months. A panel of judges had a particularly difficult time picking winners from the categories, such was the incredibly high standard of entries reflecting the monumental effort made by staff. Please celebrate the award winners with us as we have compiled a film of those who won the prizes. The film features our executive team paying tribute to them and all our incredible staff.
