Ace Awards 2010 - short-list announced!
Ace Awards 2010 short-list
announced!
We have it, the short-list for this year’s Ace
Awards! Now in its second year, the Ace Awards is about rewarding
the incredible work of local NHS staff over the past 12 months,
seeking nominations from staff and patients alike. The winners will
receive thunderous applause at a red carpet ceremony at the Stoke
Newington Town Hall on 10 June.
NHS City and Hackney Chief Executive Jacqui
Harvey said: “Thank you to everyone who placed a nomination for the
Ace Awards; this has been an excellent way of discovering hidden
talent and amazing dedication that makes City and Hackney stand out
as a great place to work.”
The judging panel, which included board
members, senior directors and patient and staff-side
representatives, reviewed a staggering 300 plus nominations from
staff and patients. There were so many nominations for ‘unsung
hero’ that judges were compelled to break the category into three;
allowing staff in all three divisions to be properly
acknowledged!
