Nursing Awards 2010
11-Jun-2010
South London Healthcare celebrated the work of its nurses this week at a special ceremony attended by the Deputy Chief Nursing Officer for England, Viv Bennett. Four staff members were honoured for their contribution to the Trust in the following categories; clinical leadership, clinical practice, clinical innovation and clinical support.
The ceremony was also attended by Col P Gilbert LRAMC TD from 256 Field Hospital, 2 Medical Brigade, Theatre Troops, who presented the Trust with two ceremonial prints. This was in recognition of the work of Territorial Army members, Dieter Aretz, Danielle Smith, Kevin Cairney and Mark Judge who spent four months in Afghanistan at the hospital in Camp Bastion earlier this year.
Chief Executive, Dr Chris Streather says: "This ceremony was an opportunity to reward staff for their hard work and dedication, and to recognise the work done by members of staff who risked their lives working in Afghanistan. I am delighted with the achievements of our staff in the past year. It is encouraging to see such good practice happening in our wards and departments."
