Patients and relatives are being asked to nominate outstanding hospital staff and volunteers for Dorset County Hospital’s Staff and Volunteer Awards scheme – the GEM Awards.
Now in its third year, the scheme recognises employees, teams and volunteers who have gone the extra mile to make a difference to the lives and experiences of patients, visitors and colleagues.
This year there are nine award categories for making an outstanding contribution, including awards for patient safety, innovation and improving the lives of patients or staff.
Nominations can be made by members of staff, volunteers, patients, their family and friends and members of the public.
Winners will receive their awards at the hospital’s annual awards ceremony in September.
Further information and a nomination form is available on the hospital’s website at www.dchft.nhs.uk/awards.html or can be obtained from Hilary Jury, Head of Workforce Quality and Governance in the Workforce/Human Resources Department on 01305 254628 or by email at [email protected]
The deadline for nominations is Friday 28 June 2013.
