Exceptional staff recognised in annual awards

Colleagues from across CLCH came together yesterday for the 6th annual celebration of its staff awards held at Church House, Westminster.

A total of 19 awards were presented to different teams and individuals from across the organisation.

Angela Greatley, Chair said:

"Our staff awards are a fantastic opportunity to celebrate and recognise the high quality standard of care staff deliver to so many patients in the community.

"Year on year the number and quality of nominations increase and this year is no different. The judging panel were blown away by the extremely high-level of nominations across our various services and Boroughs, and it goes without saying that our staff are doing a fantastic job.

"It was a real pleasure to attend and be a part of my first staff awards, and see so many staff and their colleagues celebrating the exceptional work we do every day. Congratulations to all of today's winners, nominees and all at CLCH."
