On Wednesday 15 July, at our annual Time to Shine Awards, our NHS trust will be celebrating just some of our brilliant colleagues from across Hertford County Hospital in Hertford, Lister Hospital in Stevenage, Mount Vernon Cancer Centre in Northwood and The New QEII Hospital in Welwyn Garden City, as well as across our various support sites.
Earlier this year, staff at the trust were invited to nominate their colleagues for award recognition ahead of the event, with a panel of judges scoring each nomination to determine our 45 finalists.
In addition to our trust staff, members of the public were also encouraged to nominate a staff member for award recognition, with The People’s Choice Award.
Click here from 8pm on Wednesday 16 July to follow the live commentary of our awards ceremony.
