Sherwood Forest Hospitals announces staff awards shortlist

The final shortlist for this year’s Sherwood Forest Hospitals Staff Excellence Awards has been announced.

More than 560 nominations were received from staff, patients and visitors, for both teams and individuals, in a number of categories, including a special category in for patients to nominate in.

The People’s Award was open to patients, visitors and the public to nominate a member of staff or a team that they feel has gone above and beyond during their care or the care of a loved one at King’s Mill Hospital, Mansfield Community Hospital or Newark Hospital.

The judging took place last month and included members of the Board of Directors, Foundation Trust Governors, Staff Side representatives, representatives from the media and SFH staff.

Chief Executive, Richard Mitchell, said: "We received a record number of nominations from staff and the public this year. That’s fantastic! Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete a nomination form as it will mean so much to the person or team nominated.

“I know that the judges had a tough decision choosing the shortlist this year and they commented that the quality was yet again very high. All teams and individuals that were nominated should take pride in the fact that a colleague or a patient has taken the time to nominate them for the care or service they provide. I am writing to every single person who was nominated to let them know and to thank them personally for their commitment to SFH.

“I am proud of the hard work and dedication shown by all staff across our hospitals and I would like to thank all of you for your support over the past 12 months and for contributing to our latest ‘Good’ CQC rating.  I’m really looking forward to the awards event and to celebrating with those of you who have been shortlisted."
