NHS staff across region recognised at Trust's yearly awards
A celebration night has once again recognised NHS workers for their outstanding care, leadership and dedication.
A total of 16 winners were named at the South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust’s Annual Staff Recognition Awards.
This year, more than 450 nominations were submitted across the award categories for the ceremony which was held at Sunderland’s Beacon Of Light.
The nominations also highlighted unsung heroes and those whose careers have been dedicated to helping others, including recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award which went to Vascular Nurse Specialist Florrie Mowatt.
Ken Bremner MBE, Chief Executive of the South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Each year, our Staff Recognition Awards provide a powerful reminder of the incredible people who make up our Trust.
“The quality and volume of nominations reflect the dedication, compassion and professionalism shown by colleagues every single day.
“We saw outstanding examples of people going above and beyond for patients, supporting one another as teams, and living our values in everything they do.”
