Appreciation for Tayside’s ETAD staff

FINALISTS in the 2018 NHS Tayside Staff Appreciation and Recognition (STAR) awards have been chosen following almost 700 nominations from employees and the public.

The awards offered them a chance to nominate an individual, service or team in one of six categories for delivering outstanding patient care or going the extra mile in their job.

A shortlisting panel then had the difficult task of choosing the finalists in each category from almost 700 nominations.

NHS Tayside chairman Professor John Connell said: “We were overwhelmed by the number of nominations received.

‘‘I would like to thank everyone who took the time to nominate, as well as the shortlisting and judging panels, who had the very unenviable task of narrowing things down.

“Well done to everyone who was nominated and congratulations to those who were shortlisted as finalists.

‘‘I am very much looking forward to the ceremony to see the gold, silver and bronze awards presented to the winners.”

The award ceremony is being held in the Apex Hotel on the evening of Thursday April 19.
