NHS Trust marks dedication and quality care with annual awards
A diverse group of NHS heroes from Coventry and Warwickshire have received awards for their top performance. Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust held their Quality (Q) Awards celebration on 5 July, to mark successes in 2017/18.
For the last ten years, the Trust has held the annual Q Awards, which celebrate the achievements of its staff and services.
This year’s Q Awards saw more than 300 nominations submitted for Trust teams as diverse as community nursing, children’s neurodevelopment, Talent for Care and support services.
Winners included the Volunteer Drivers, the Rise (the mental health service for children and young people) Looked After Children Team, a Support Worker in the Coventry Recovery team, a Specialist Doctor at Brooklands, a Housekeeping Assistant in Pembleton Ward and the Trust’s Palliative Care Team. The four members of staff who were named in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list were also celebrated during the event.
Nominations came from patients, families and carers and also from within the Trust for particular individuals or teams who have gone above and beyond in providing high-quality care for service users.
The winner of the 2018 Chair’s Award was the Palliative Care Team. Jagtar Singh, the Trust’s Chair, said: “The Q Awards night is always an important one in our annual calendar. All too often, staff don’t get recognition for the dedication and hard work they put in every day.
“Our Q Awards aim to help put that right, and this year’s event was another great occasion which showcased some excellent people and some truly remarkable and high quality care. I think the night showed again that our Trust is a great place to care, to be cared for and to work. “
