Help celebrate special staff and volunteers at Northampton General Hospital awards

Previous clinical team winners include the gynaecology team on Spencer.

The annual awards are an opportunity for patients, families and carers to tell the hospital about the staff and volunteers who have made a difference to their hospital experience, provided the best possible care or have helped to bring improvements to services and the care that patients receive.

Traditionally the winners are announced at an awards evening at The Park Inn. However, this year, the event will take place virtually.

As well as the change to a virtual awards ceremony three new categories have been introduced - including two which recognise the efforts of staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gongs have also been given to Pets as Therapy who bagged the Volunteers of the Year award.

For 2020, the categories in which outstanding Northampton General Hospital staff can be nominated are:

- Clinical team award

- Non-clinical team award

- Volunteer of the year (individual or team)

- Unsung hero, clinical

- Unsung hero, non-clinical

- Patient experience award

- Respect and support award [NEW]

- Patient safety award

- Caring through COVID individual award [NEW]

- Caring through COVID team award [NEW]

- Research and Innovation awards [NEW]

Nominations are only open until midnight on Sunday, September 13, so you’ll need to be quick to make sure your nomination is counted.
