The awards were cancelled last year because of the pandemic and this year were moved online to allow as many people as possible to take part.

Screens were erected in the RSH and PRH so colleagues could watch on-site, while others joined from their own homes. A total of 23 awards were presented. Among the awards were a critical care nurse who trained more than 500 colleagues from across SaTH and the wider health system to help in critical care at the height of the COVID19 pandemic; one of the Trust’s youngest volunteers, who put herself forward to help during the pandemic; and a public recognition award for a matron who was described by the wife of a patient as her ‘lifeline’ when she couldn’t visit. Louise Barnett, Chief Executive, said: “There has been a lot of really good work carried out at SaTH over the last year. We know we have challenges, but it is really important that we celebrate the great people we have across our organisation and in our communities and the work they are doing. “I would like to say a huge congratulations not only to the winners, but to everybody who was nominated. We received hundreds of nominations and selecting the eventual winners was a very difficult task. “Everyone should be incredibly proud of how hard they have worked both individually and together as teams, particularly over the last 12 months, to support our community.”
