Celebrating our amazing people at special awards ceremonies

We celebrated our amazing people during This is Us Week with two special award ceremonies.

Colleagues enjoyed the Long Service Awards on 26 June and the This is Us: Our Amazing People Awards on 27 June; both of which were hosted at That Amazing Place in Harlow.

At the Long Service Awards, 30 people were presented with certificates and a pin badge to mark 20 years of service at PAHT; with a further 21 people presented with certificates and pin badges to mark 25 years of service at PAHT.

For the This is Us: Our Amazing People Awards, 101 shortlisted nominees (from 490 nominations received) were recognised across 12 award categories that included: Kindness Award, Safety Award, Speaking Up Award, Learning Award; Commitment Award; Improvement Award; Teamwork Award; Engagement Award; Inclusion Award; Managing for Excellence Award; Emerging Leader Award and Inspiring Leader Award.

Lance McCarthy, chief executive, said: “The Long Service Awards are a fantastic opportunity to recognise and celebrate the dedication that our people have shown working here at PAHT. The commitment of colleagues is astonishing, and all talked of feeling part of the ‘PAHT family’.

“The citations read at the This is Us: Our Amazing People Awards were delightful to see and hear and resonated with our values of putting the patient at the heart of all we do, delivering everyday excellence and demonstrating creative collaboration. It was fantastic to hear about the many ways in which our amazing people support our patients and their colleagues.

“Humility, dedication, inspiration and compassion were in abundance across all nominated colleagues and I was extremely proud to be there as the CEO of the organisation.

“Thank you to everyone who was nominated and a huge congratulations to those that were highly commended and to our winners.”
