Positive Stars is an opportunity for staff to nominate colleagues who have made a real difference to them, their team, patients and other colleagues. We want to shout from the rooftops about our amazing staff and volunteers and show how much they are appreciated.
We know that colleagues often go over and above to support patients, carers and each other.
This is one way to ensure that colleagues are formally recognised for the amazing work that they are doing. Examples include extraordinary care and / or compassion, introducing positive change, generating great ideas, fantastic colleague or patient engagement, being an inspiration, or anything that has made a difference.
Winners are chosen each month who then receive a certificate of recognition from our Chief Executive and have a visit by a senior leader to recognise their good work and formally present them with their certificate.
Below you can see some of the winners and find out why they deserved to win.
Sharon Girling, Receptionist, City Community Mental Health team won a Positive Star for going above and beyond to help a patient get to their appointment, after they arrived at the wrong outpatient clinic. The patient was elderly, in pain and tired, and distressed to discover it was the wrong venue. Sharon set off along campus, with a wheelchair and collected the patient and brought the patient back to the correct clinic with a cheerful disposition. This made a positive impact on the patient, who had been nervous of attending and inclined to cancel. Well done Sharon.
