Junior Doctor Awards

Junior Doctors celebrated with annual awards event

Junior Doctors at LTHT were recognised for their contributions over 2019 and 2020 with a special Appreciation Event and awards ceremony in July.

The event was a chance to celebrate the fantastic work of Junior Doctors in Leeds through several different categories, recognising the contributions made in different fields - from quality improvement and teamwork, to teaching and inclusivity. Although a live event was not possible this year due to the pandemic, a pre

recorded event allowed the winners to receive their awards either in person or via a video link up. Chief Executive Julian Hartley; Clare Smith, Chief Operating Officer; and Dr Phil Wood, Chief Medical Officer, were also in attendance to present awards and congratulate the nominees. Chief Executive Julian Hartley said: “There are some magnificent nominations this year that are a true testament to the calibre of our Junior Doctors working in Leeds. The level of excellence, commitment and hard work on show has made me very proud of our medical trainees and their contributions to our hospitals.”
