Staff with awards

Staff recognition

Recognising the fantastic work that colleagues do is important.  It’s part of being the best place to work.  Across our Trust, we do this monthly and in our bi-annual staff awards event.


You’re A Star awards

In alternate years, we highlight, honour and celebrate individuals across our organisation.  They have been nominated by their colleagues for going the extra mile to make a real difference to others.YASA logo

Inspired by our vision of connecting people to the best quality care, when and where they need,  our ‘You’re a Star’ awards event recognises staff from all areas of our Trust.

The categories include teammate of the year; service user, carer and volunteer contribution; working together; team of the year and unsung hero.
