The trust that runs Shropshire’s acute hospitals is getting set for its annual awards – and is looking for the public's help to celebrate its staffFor the second year running, The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust , which runs Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, has teamed up with the Shropshire Star for one of the award categories.
“The award celebrates the outstanding dedication and commitment of our colleagues and teams, and the truly wonderful work that they do every day across so many services in our hospitals and the wider community, to support our patients and their families. Sister Kirton comes from a family tradition of working in the NHS, and proudly wears a belt buckle her own mum received when she qualified, which was passed to her when she qualified herself."I have worked really hard on it so it makes me very proud," she said.
"So to have a group of patients I look after throughout their whole treatment plan, from when symptoms are severe to hopefully giving them a better quality of life is immensely satisfying and rewarding."The team on Royal Shrewsbury Hospital's 'Short Stay' Ward 22 were nominated for going"over and above" as they cared for a patient at the end of his life.
"We were on their radar as well as Dad. Staff introduced themselves and said goodbye, letting us know when they would be back. It was very comforting. He said:"I have spoken with the team quite a bit about it and a lot of nominations for other awards are from the trust but the fact it has come from a member of the public, they did not have to do this. They went out of their way to do this and it makes it that extra bit special.
