Time to nominate South Devon's health heroes
Nominations are now open to recognise the hard work and dedication of health and social care staff across Torbay and South Devon.
The Blue Shield Awards organised by Torbay and Southern Devon Health and Care NHS Trust and South Devon Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, are held annually to celebrate the people who go above and beyond their role and make a real difference to health and social care.
There are a total of nine categories within the awards including individual, team, partnership, sustainability, equality and diversity, volunteer, and the lifetime achievement awards. This year there is a new award called ‘Living the Values’ which is looking for members of staff who have gone that extra mile to fulfil the NHS values. The values include respect and dignity, commitment to quality care, improving people’s lives and working together for patients.
Adrienne Murphy, Joint Director of HR for South Devon Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Torbay and Southern Devon Health and Care NHS Trust said: “All of our staff work extremely hard to ensure that every single person who comes into our care gets the highest quality of service. However we know that so many of our staff go above and beyond their roles each and every day.
