Have you or a loved one received outstanding care from a team or individual at Sherwood Forest Hospitals Trust? If so, now is the time to say thank you by nominating them for an Excellence Award.
The trust, which manages three hospitals – King’s Mill in Sutton, Mansfield Community, and Newark – is inviting the local community to nominate an individual or team for a People’s Award, which is exclusively open to public nominations.
The Excellence Awards honour colleagues, teams, and volunteers who go above and beyond in their roles, making a real difference to patients, visitors, and colleagues.
Last year’s People’s Award winner was the Midwifery Bereavement Team, which was nominated for the compassionate care and support it provides to bereaved families. The team offers ongoing practical and emotional support and guidance in the weeks and months following a pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.
David Selwyn, acting chief executive at Sherwood Forest Hospitals, said: “I am delighted that we are once again holding our annual Excellence Awards. This past year has been another challenging one, and I have witnessed first-hand just how hard our colleagues have worked. These awards are a great way for us to recognise and celebrate their efforts.
“I would encourage our patients to nominate a team or individual for a People’s Award. This is a great way for our local community to share their thanks for the care they or a loved one may have received, and it really does mean a lot to our colleagues.”
Nominations for this year’s awards are open until midnight on Thursday, 8th May.
The awards will be held on Thursday, 18th September at Mansfield Town Football Club, where colleagues from across Sherwood Forest Hospitals will come together to celebrate the outstanding work that has been carried out over the past year.
