Chairman Keith Ramsay said: “Every day in the NHS individuals and teams go to extraordinary lengths for the patients, families and communities they serve.

"Our Celebrating Excellence Awards have therefore become an invaluable way of recognising this commitment and celebrating the excellent work of our colleagues throughout the Trust.

“This year has been particularly difficult, with the NHS, its staff and its services coming under unprecedented pressures.

"Despite this, colleagues have continued to go the extra mile and the Dr Kate Granger Award provides an opportunity for members of the public to show their appreciation to individuals and teams for their compassionate care.
