Star Awards

Recognising the achievements of staff and volunteers

Our monthly Star Awards help us recognise outstanding individuals or teams who have made a real difference and gone that extra mile for patients, visitors or staff, while demonstrating the Trust's values of kindness, openness and excellence through their behaviours and their actions.

Celebration of Achievement

It’s almost time to shine a light on the people who make our Trust such a special place to work.

Nominations for the 2025 Celebration of Achievement Awards open in July - and we want your help to recognise the outstanding efforts of colleagues and teams who go above and beyond every day.

This annual event is one of the highlights of the Trust calendar, bringing together staff from across our sites to celebrate the professionalism, innovation, compassion and dedication that defines our workforce.

So, before you submit a Star Award nomination, if the person or team you are nominating consistently puts patients first, is driving positive change, or makes a real difference, then it may be worth saving your nomination for the Celebration of Achievement.
Making a nomination is quick and easy and both colleagues and members of the public can submit nominations.

Keep an eye on our social media, our website and the press for the nomination link and full details when the window opens. Let’s celebrate the people who inspire us - start thinking about your nomination today!

Appreciation Station

You can also recognise individuals by sending an appreciation ecard to recognise a job well done, a colleague who has helped you out, or just to say thank you. Choose a card, write your message, and send to the person who you feel has made a difference to you, to your working day or working week by visiting our Appreciation Station.
