Last Friday 3 February, we held our Staff Long Service & Achievement Awards to celebrate and recognise the achievements of our amazing colleagues across RNOH. It was a fantastic event and our CEO, Paul Fish, opened our first awards ceremony since the pandemic. In his welcoming address, he emphasised what team RNOH has achieved including during the pandemic in helping the system cope when it was under immense pressure, and saving lives by showing incredible resilience, flaxibility, and leadership.
Paul Fish said: ‘’All you have made a difference. You made people better, you helped people cope, you changed people’s lives. The work you do is extraordinarily important. Thank you doesn’t feel like a strong enough word to describe how incredibly grateful and proud I am of everything that you do. Tonight is our opportunity to recognise the expertise and compassion in this organisation. I want to personally congratulate each of you who has been shortlisted this year. I know that the standard of nominations was extremely high and that the judging panels had quite the task to identify our winners.”
Our surprise host for the night was Paul Sinha, star of TV quiz show 'The Chase', who took the stage by storm and had colleagues roaring with laughter. Also adding to the fun was a guest musical spot from our very own Brian Dorman, Divisional Head of Nursing for Critical Support Services, and his trusty guitar.
We'd like to say a many congratulations to all our amazing colleagues receiving their Long Service Awards.
