Praise for ‘exceptional’ care
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF SOUTH TYNESIDE AND CITY HOSPITALS SUNDERLAND NHS FOUNDATION TRUSTS SPEAKS
A health boss has praised staff for the ‘exceptional care’ they provide in challenging circumstances.
Ken Bremner, the chief executive at South Tyneside and City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trusts has spoken of his pride in NHS staff as the Trust backs this year’s Best of Health Awards.
The awards aim to honour outstanding individuals within the health profession on both Tyneside and Wearside.
Mr Bremner said: “I’m delighted that our Trusts are among the sponsors of this year’s Best of Health Awards.
“The NHS is facing unprecedented pressures but, day in and day out, our staff in hospitals and in the community rise to the challenge of providing exceptional care.”
This year the awards have been backed by South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust and City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust along with mydentist, and NHS Sunderland Clinical Commissioning Group.
Members of the public and health workers are asked to nominate health professionals including GPs, hospital doctors, nurses and dentists among others who represent excellence in the health world.
Once the nominations are in, a shortlist will be drawn up and the finalists will be invited to a finale at the Quality Hotel, in Boldon, on Thursday, April 27.
Backing the awards, Mr Bremner said they provide an opportunity to recognise the hard work of staff and their efforts to go the extra mile to help others.
He said: “These awards present an opportunity for the public to give them a pat on the back and I know how much such recognition of their efforts in going the extra mile will mean to them.”
