Congratulations to all of our nominees and winners at the Star Awards which took place on Thursday 30 April. Thank you to everyone who helped organise the evening and to all of our judges who had the difficult task of choosing our winners.

The Star Awards, now in their fourth year, were changed this year to recognise those staff who embody our Trust values of Respectful, Kind, Safe and Excellent. The awards were made possible thanks to the generous support of CW+, who this year also presented their own special award. The charity exists to make care better for patients and their families through pioneering research, innovation, art and design. Registered charity n°1067412.
