Stellar Awards winner announced
Healthwatch Northumberland Stellar Awards celebrate the people and services who provide a particularly positive health or social care experience for people in Northumberland.
We were delighted to present the first Stellar Award to the stroke unit staff on Ward 6 at Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital.
The team was nominated by Stella from Northumberland in recognition of the exceptional, compassionate care staff provided for her late husband and the wider family, supporting them with sensitivity, clear communication and dignity, and working together to make an incredibly difficult time more manageable.
Our Engagement and Volunteering Officer, Lorna Beech, went along to present a certificate to the winning team.
Ward manager, Charlyn Lawton said: “The Stroke Team is so proud of this award. This shows how great the team is at working together to meet our patients’ and relatives’ expectations.”
We will be choosing another winner next month, so if you would like to make a nomination please complete the nomination form below.
