Our annual PRIDE awards, which are kindly supported by our charity, recognise the fantastic staff and volunteers working at our hospitals. We know that so many of our staff go above and beyond their normal duties to deliver great care for our patient and support our colleagues. At these awards we celebrate their hard work, achievements and contributions.
