Following an extensive longlisting and shortlisting process, the nominations for the first Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group (LCHG) Awards have now been whittled down to the final shortlist.
This year will be the first ever joint staff awards since Lincolnshire Community Health Service NHS Trust (LCHS) and United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (ULTH) came together in April of this year. The Group Staff Awards will be bigger and better than ever before, recognising and celebrating our NHS stars across the Group.
The awards have attracted 1,127 nominations, recognising staff who go above and beyond to provide excellent healthcare to the people of Lincolnshire.
In total, 56 individuals and teams who work across hospitals and community services have been shortlisted for this year’s awards in 14 categories.
The event will take place at the Epic Centre at the Lincolnshire Showground on Friday 15 November.
Karen Dunderdale, Group Chief Executive, said: “Congratulations to everyone who has been nominated this year. We have seen an enormous amount of change over the last year, so to be holding our first Group Staff Awards really gives us the opportunity to celebrate everything we have achieved.
“I believe this huge number of nominations from both patients and colleagues really reflects our exceptional staff who go above and beyond to provide the best possible quality of care to patients.”
The awards are funded by sponsorship from local businesses and suppliers, for which we are very grateful. Any business which is interested in supporting the awards is asked to contact staffawards@ulh.nhs.uk or call 01522 573986.
