MESSAGE
FROM THE BOARD
On Thursday 21 March we were privileged to be part of a fantastic event, our annual OSCARS awards ceremony, celebrating the personal and team successes of our staff and volunteers. This year was particularly special as we marked the tenth anniversary of this fantastic scheme.
Joined by Norman Wilson, Chair of Staff Side Organisations and previous winners, we presented awards in nine categories recognising the outstanding contributions made by so many dedicated individuals. 380 guests were in attendance on the night including VIPs Councillor Merlita Bryan, Sheriff of Nottingham, Councillor Carol Pepper, Chair of Nottinghamshire County Council, Dawn Smith, Chief Officer NHS Nottingham Clinical Comissioning Group, Barbara Lewis, Chief Executive Amaani Tallawah, our Governor Members and of course all of our shortlisted nominees and those who nominated them. We also welcomed our nominated NHS Heroes and other winners of national awards over the past year, of whom we are extremely proud. We value our staff enormously and the OSCARS ceremony is one way for us to invest in them and show our appreciation for their hard work and efforts in delivering our services. We know that some organisations have felt that they should cancel events such as the OSCARS in times of austerity. We believe at times like this it is even more important to recognise and thank our staff for the tremendous contribution they make. A special film paying tribute to ten years of the OSCARS was shown on the night and highlighted how people
really value the scheme. Our thanks go to everyone who took part in it. We would also like to thank everyone involved in the process making the tenth OSCARS such a success: Those who took the time to make a nomination; 149 this year over nine categories. The nominations came from staff, service users, carers and patients and many of the citations are direct quotes from those nominations. Also thanks to the judging panels who had the hard task of picking the shortlisted nominees and the winners. Thanks to Frances Marshall, Sue Wood and the Communications Team for organising the event and overseeing the whole process from start to finish. We also wish to add our congratulations to every single one of the nominees, including those who were not shortlisted or able to attend on the night. Unfortunately not everyone can be a winner, but you should all be rightly proud and know that your efforts are very much appreciated. A full list of everyone nominated can be found in this brochure. Well done, congratulations and a very big thank you to all.

NOMINEE Lea Taylor Housekeeper, Lings Bar Hospital
Lea is an invaluable member of staff who will always go that extra mile to make patients and relatives feel comfortable and at ease, often during difficult circumstances and stressful times. She offers a listening ear, a calming reassuring word and usually a welcome cup of tea and biscuit! Nothing is too much trouble and she does it with a smile. She is ultra-reliable and will cover whatever shifts she can or make herself available at the drop of a hat, especially when a patient needs an escort to go to clinic.
NOMINEE
Kim Kirk
Customer Relations Manager, Hawthorn House Over the past 12 months Kim has worked together with Health Partnerships’ localities to deliver a complaints process which not only meets the national criteria but ensures staff learn and implement changes in response to patient feedback. Kim has worked hard to set a clear vision, shared pathways and identified goals for the effective and efficient management of complaints across the Division. She is viewed as an invaluable resource and has gone beyond the job requirement to make herself available at all times to ensure that patients always have that unique point of contact.
The
Unsung Hero Award Non Clinical Setting
This award recognises the achievements of an individual who isn’t usually in the spotlight but who works hard behind the scenes to help the Trust deliver its objectives.
WINNER Lusia Coulson
Administrator, Broxtowe Mental Health Intermediate Care Team at Stapleford Care Centre Lusia always exceeds the expectations others have of her. If you were to ask her, she would say she was 'just helping'. Lusia seems to know what the team needs before they do! Nothing Lusia does is left unfinished and all work is completed to her high standards with care and pride. She will always seek confirmation that something done on another person’s behalf is as they require it and if there is anything that needs changing will happily amend it. Lusia is always willing to help all staff, regardless of whether they are in the team.

NOMINEE Anna Ellerton Senior Secretary, Lings Bar Hospital
Whilst Anna has a defined and demanding role, she will gladly undertake the duties of administration staff who are on annual leave or sickness absence – ensuring a seamless quality service is maintained. Whilst ward managers are expected to undertake their own administrative work, the enormity of recruitment and retention administration processes means that they would struggle to manage this themselves without Anna's ongoing support. Anna will also provide secretarial support for other senior managers. She will stay late, come in early and has always shown flexibility with her own annual leave to ensure service cover.

NOMINEE
Lindsay Self
Occupational Therapist, Rampton Hospital Lindsay always goes above and beyond in all her working tasks. She perseveres, often tirelessly, to engage and motivate patients. She is always looking for opportunities to improve patients’ lives through engagement in occupational activity and also promotes and encourages engagement in therapies and activities within other disciplines. She is tirelessly positive and unhesitatingly rises to the challenges that patients and the provision of their care present her with.
NOMINEE Kate Deamer Arts in Health Coordinator, Duncan Macmillan House
Kate is a lovely person. She is invariably cheerful and chatty and always manages to bring a smile to people’s faces even when they are feeling low. She is extremely professional but makes service users feel like equals and friends. Not only do her creative activities provide essential help for many people managing mental illness, but having a piece of work displayed in an exhibition or chosen to hang in a Trust building gives the service user a huge boost of confidence. For many, Kate’s enthusiasm for their work makes a big difference.
The
Unsung Hero Award Clinical Setting
WINNER Janice Corrie Healthcare Support Worker, Bassetlaw Hospice
Janice has worked at the Hospice for 18 years. She started as a volunteer in day care then became a Health Care Assistant. She is extremely loyal to the Hospice and organises events to raise funds in her own time. Jan does this without any prompting; she does it simply because she is so passionate about the services for patients and their families. Jan goes that extra mile, listening to their wishes. Sometimes, laughing with them, sometimes crying with them. Jan is also supportive and loyal to her work colleagues.
This award recognises the achievements of an individual in a direct care role who goes beyond their ‘job description’ to help the Trust deliver its objectives; bringing clear benefits to patients, service users and carers. The winner is unlikely to have been formally recognised for their efforts in the past.
NOMINEE Stephen Smith
Support Time and Recovery Worker at 7 Macmillan Close, Nottingham Through his dedication and enthusiasm Stephen has been able to maintain socially inclusive activities and trips. Through his skills he has combined meaningful day education and stimulation, a sense of team work and community within the client group. Steve has used the trips and outings to promote social responsibility, budgeting, time keeping and planning skills. He listens to clients' needs and works tirelessly to raise money so clients can have the opportunity to access therapeutic activities. He goes beyond his job description to deliver outstanding service.

NOMINEE
Marie Armstrong Nurse Consultant, Thorneywood Marie has the heart of a clinician. She works with individuals and their families where self-harming is a feature. This work informs and drives her extensive writing and research, which includes numerous publications of papers and book chapters. Marie teaches locally and nationally. She works with compassion and deep understanding. Young people and their families always speak highly of Marie and of the difference she has made to their lives. She has the ability to give hope.
NOMINEE
Alison Newsham-Kent, Team Leader, CAMHS North Notts Alison has been central to the development of a culture of openness within the team, which faces particular challenges because it is made up of what used to be three separate teams. Alison acts with integrity which has led to a climate of trust in the team’s relationships. This is vital in creating a culture where staff feel safe, valued and listened to. These positive values are then reflected in day to day contact with service users. Alison's actions and behaviour are consistently demonstrating her core values which reflect those of the Trust. Alison is energetic in achieving improvements for service users and maintaining team working to deliver excellence.
The
Leadership Award
Leadership cannot be underestimated and at Nottinghamshire Healthcare it is taken very seriously indeed as demonstrated by the Trust’s ground breaking Invest to Lead series. This award goes to the individual that has demonstrated leadership and management skills in developing an effective and efficient team. Irrespective of their position in the Trust, this person will have acted as a role model; setting high standards, championing these and providing mentoring for others to do the same.
NOMINEE
Lynne Cotterill
Clinical Director and Community Matron, Church House Surgery
WINNER James Routen
Health and Wellbeing Coordinator at Arnold Lodge James is passionate about the health and wellbeing of patients and staff at Arnold Lodge and service users across the Trust and used this passion and commitment Trustwide to coordinate and lead on the 2012 Trust Olympic programme. He uses his energetic persona to encourage and motivate others to make positive healthy choices to benefit their physical and mental wellbeing. Through the Health and Wellbeing Programme he has supported patients to achieve their goals with weight loss and increasing their activity levels, through his dynamic, energetic and creative attitude.

Whilst familiar in mental health services, the clinical director role is very new for community services. Lynne had a baptism of fire; she had to oversee a cost improvement programme of 8% and lead a service that had newly transferred from the PCT to the Trust. Throughout this time of great change, Lynne helped maintain staff morale, whilst also having to ‘re-invent’ herself so people no longer saw her as ‘just’ a community matron but as a leader in her own right. She has since developed really strong local links with the local Clinical Commissioning Group and GPs.
Positive Oscars 2013 special_twc news 09/04/2013 17:04 Page 7
NOMINEE Kate Deamer Arts in Health Coordinator, Duncan Macmillan House
Kate actively ensures that the content of the exhibitions are inclusive and accessible to all patients, carers, service users and staff, regardless of their artistic ability or talent. For Kate, the artist's message is the most important issue, and how they have helped use that inner message in their recovery journey. Kate tries to ensure that all of her exhibitions show all strands of equality and diversity in a variety of forms which also makes it accessible whilst being sensitive in content to respect people’s values and beliefs.
WINNER Rachel Phillips
Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with IAPT at Hexgreave Hall Rachel is both the Trust’s champion for Sexual Orientation and her service’s champion for Sexual Orientation, Gender and Gender Identity. Despite a challenging job, a family to look after, completing a Masters and her own health issues, Rachel tirelessly gives her time to help others and tries to make the Trust a better place for staff to work and patients to receive services. She firmly believes in the Stonewall mantra that ‘People Perform Better When They Can Be Themselves’.
The
Equality and Diversity Award NOMINEE Angela Foster Community Services Manager, Kirby in Ashfield
Angela has led the BME Community of Interest since its conception. She and the wider members of the BME Dementia Community of Interest (CoI) have actively campaigned to raise awareness of Dementia in BME communities. In addition to delivering training and organising conferences to raise awareness and provide support, Angela and the BME Dementia CoI have actively engaged local communities in the debate, as well as engaging key partners in the work of the group and in reaching out to Nottinghamshire's BME communities.
As a provider of national, regional and local services, it is vital that Nottinghamshire Healthcare reflects the diversity of the communities it serves in the way it delivers services. Nominees in this category demonstrate how this works on a daily basis around the Trust.
NOMINEE
Bill Carpenter, Sports and Leisure Coordinator, Arnold Lodge Bill is unrelenting in his pursuit of equality for our diverse patient group.

Oral Health Promotion Team, Byron Court The Oral Health Team is a small, dynamic group of health professionals called Tooth Fairies, striving to improve the oral health of the locality. They are proud to work in partnership with internal and external agencies to increase the impact of health messages to the whole population. They use innovative activities and extremely high motivational techniques called Smiles, to ensure a positive impact. After a successful pilot (The Tooth Fairy Project) last year, Teeth Tools for Schools was developed using evidence and experiences gained from the pilot and was launched in September 2012.
NOMINEE Bassetlaw Community Learning Disability Team based at Worksop Library The team has in the past experienced a number of service users having to move out of County or into nursing placements in an unplanned way. This has demanded a high level of resources from the team and has resulted in poor outcomes for the service users and their families. In contrast, the setting up of this specialist service has enabled service users to remain in their local area, within the community that they know and in receipt of services from professionals that know them well. The service has received positive feedback from many partners. One family member said: "I am not worried about my brother any more."

The
Innovator of theYear Award
The award for innovation and creativity is for a product, therapy, treatment or process, which is more than an incremental step better than what has gone before; that is innovative and brings a clear benefit to patients, carers or staff. It will have introduced new, exciting evidence based ideas that make a difference – large or small – to the Trust’s performance.
NOMINEE
Pulmonary Rehabilitation and Heart failure Nurse Specialist Team Currently this is the only combined rehabilitation service running in Nottinghamshire. The quality of the service is measured by patient feedback questionnaires collating subjective information, rating the quality of care that they receive on the course and rating the course overall. The team is providing treatment to a new set of patients where there was nothing available previously; using standardised, nationally recognised outcome measures for measuring change in exercise tolerance, and health related quality of life, without extra resources.
NOMINEE
Joe Kilgariff
Neurodevelopmental Nurse, Queen’s Medical Centre Thanks to Joe's implementation of Cognitive Behaviour Intervention for Tourette's (CBIT), the Tourette's clinic at QMC is now offering the highest standard of evidence-based care in the UK, equalled only by Great Ormond Street. Joe has completed his training as a nurse prescriber and is able to deliver both behaviour therapy and medication to patients under his care. The use of CBIT has helped both to empower young people, increasing their sense of self-control and selfesteem and has reduced the need for medication, which often has significant unwanted side-effects.

Health Inspectors Sir John Robinson Way, Nottingham Following the Big Health Day 2011, responses from learning disability service users showed that they felt that they were not really being listened to. Big words were being used, some of the questions were really hard to understand and they did not feel that they were part of the day. Health Inspectors wanted to have a bigger and more effective voice in health services to reduce stigma through a programme of action research, developing an understanding of the complexities of the health service, influence service

Oral Health Promotion Team, Byron Court Utilising knowledge, skill and expertise of the team and partners enables the Oral Health Promotion Team to create a wider impact. The activities are more successful because the team use the audience in the creation, delivery and evaluation.

The psychosocial group attendance has tripled to 300 clients accessing it in one month. The atmosphere on the Unit now has a community feel with clients taking responsibility for themselves and their environment, supporting each other to promote physical and mental wellbeing.

NOMINEE Community Continence Service, Retford The present team came together in 2011/12 and have quickly implemented changes that have delivered significant benefits for patients and efficiency cost savings for the Trust, some of which have been reinvested into the service to improve the quality of patient care. The major change for the service has been a move away from being a 'pad fitting service' to becoming an educative resource for patients and staff, focusing upon early intervention to prevent and resolve continence issues and to mitigate against long term dependency on continence products.

NOMINEE Allison Tennant
Nurse Consultant, Rampton Hospital 32 years ago Allison started as a student nurse and moved through the ranks to become a Nurse Consultant. She has spent the majority of her working life working with high secure patients and developing others to work in secure services. Allison has brought enthusiasm and energy to training and to direct patient care. Although an excellent direct patient care nurse with skills and qualifications in a number of psychological therapies, Allison has directed her enthusiasm to ensure others have followed her example. He work is both nationally and internationally recognised and has brought great credit to the Trust. Allison is a clear example of where the very best therapist or practitioner can bring their enthusiasm for the job through to a new generation.
Pete McGrath Nursing Assistant, Rampton Hospital Pete has worked within the Trust for over thirty years as a Nursing Assistant. It’s difficult to put into words how much this man has given of himself working with the most challenging men. Since coming to Rampton Hospital, Pete has spent his career working across different Directorates but always on high dependency wards right up until he retires next year. Pete is dedicated to the patients he works with. He is calm, thoughtful and reflective. The qualities he possesses again are hard to quantify.
The
Lifetime Achievement This award needs no explanation.
NOMINEE Liz Tatham
Clinical Nurse Specialist, Thorneywood It is hard to put into words the amazing knowledge and skills Liz has developed over the years and how much she offers to young people and their families. Clinical work is a really tough, emotionally demanding role that many people move on from as their careers progress, but not Liz. She has continued to work at the heart of services, providing the highest quality services to young people and families. Liz continues to be highly motivated and innovative, looking for new challenges, recently working with schools to develop family therapy clinics as a means of early intervention.

NOMINEE Jackie Dennis
Service Manager, Substance Misuse Services Jackie has excellent clinical and managerial skills. In the 1980s the Substance Misuse Service comprised an inpatient unit (Porchester House) and a community team of two specialist nurses based at the old John Storer Clinic. As the drug problem exploded in the early 1990s, Jackie was pivotal in responding to local needs. There is now a staff team of more than 50 and the service is a core component of the Specialist Service Directorate. Jackie has supported both clients and staff throughout the many changes that Substance Misuse Services have experienced. An example of which is the recent tendering process which the Trust has secured. Jackie is not afraid of change and supports and encourages others to embrace it, remaining positive throughout. It will be a great loss to the service when Jackie retires in May 2013.

Developing collaboration into new services – the long game
Barchester Healthcare and the Trust began working together in a collaborative way in May 2008. A formal Board, led by Mike Cooke and Chief Executive of Barchester Healthcare, Mike Parsons, was established to support different projects and service developments based on the quality, innovation, productivity and prevention agenda. Over the last year a number of exciting projects have been developed. These include:
• Joint funding of a new Chair in Dementia with The University of Nottingham. Tom Dening was appointed in late 2012 and his post is helping to create a 'centre of excellence' in dementia research as part of the overall development of the Mental Health Institute. • Opening of the Portland Suite in Worksop to support people with enduring mental health needs. • Shared leadership development, including a new opportunity for people within both organisations to exchange roles and spend a 'week in the life of'.
February 2013 saw the official opening of Forest Hospital in Mansfield. Mike Cooke and Mike Parsons opened the 50 bed flagship facility for people under the age of 65 with working age dementia, alcohol related brain injury and Huntingtons Disease. The Hospital provides high quality intensive and rehabilitative care for people and their families, from Nottinghamshire and beyond, affected by the illnesses, with a focus on personalisation and community living. The Hospital is run by Barchester but has a modern matron and other staff seconded from the Trust working in it – a truly integrated service. The two organisations have also worked together in developing a new nursing home which will support older people and people with dementia in Newark which will work with the community team. The facility is due to open in June/July 2013. The next exciting programme of work will be discussed at the annual review in May. This really is a team approach with a growing joint prospectus.

Konica Minolta East: working in partnership to deliver cost efficient print solutions Konica Minolta East has been providing print, copy and scanning capable devices to Nottinghamshire Healthcare for many years and our relationship with the Trust has always been based on a partnership as opposed to that of just a supplier and customer. During the last 12 months, Konica Minolta has been assisting the Trust to realise the potential of its Print Strategy – a project which aims to provide the Trust’s workforce with a modern, managed, reliable, cost efficient and right sized print, copy and scan fleet. Alongside the Trust’s I.T department and its Print Relationship Manager, Dominick Ferguson, Konica has deployed a new fleet of print equipment and attendant print management technologies at Duncan Macmillan House, Millbrook Mental Health Unit, Arnold Lodge and Rampton Hospital. Staff at these sites now benefit from a centrally controlled print solution, enabling them to print from any device using a personal electronic print card. Beth Mobbs-White, CPA Administrator at Duncan Macmillan House said: “My role requires me to do a lot of printing and the system is always reliable. It is particularly convenient that I can scan, print and copy from a number of printers in the Trust.” As ever we look forward to continuing our commitment to support Nottinghamshire Healthcare in the forthcoming year. The year ahead for us as the Trust’s print partner will be
an exciting one. We look forward to working with the Trust to support planning and wider deployments of these technologies. It is envisaged that the next 12 months will be spent assisting the Trust to grow and develop its print strategy to support the ever changing needs of its staff. This will ultimately deliver a more modern and robust fleet of print equipment for staff, whilst making significant savings for the Trust.
Finally, we would like to thank all Trust staff for their support and patience during the rollout of these printers without which it would not have been such a success.
