Lister Security team and Carlisle Support Service have won the Healthcare Security Team award at this year’s Healthcare Security Awards 2024.
The team, nominated alongside 14 other finalists, were celebrated for their ability to manage complex and difficult situations with empathy.
The team were also recognised for demonstrating their exemplary service during their care for a troubled teenager with mental health challenges, who later expressed her gratitude through a heartfelt thank-you card, accompanied by praise from her family.

“Their commitment, positive attitude, and unwavering effort is truly commendable. We are so proud of them all.”
The Healthcare Security Team category recognises an outstanding team who has stood out and is considered worthy of recognition, citing ‘outstanding professionalism, dedication, and compassion.’
