Our Trust hosted our annual Staff Celebration Event this year at Lazaat Hotel, Willerby. The event took place on 10 November 2023 and welcomed teams from across the Trust to celebrate the fantastic work they do.
The Celebration Event is the setting for the winners of the Staff Awards to be announced and presented with their awards. Nominations open earlier in the year to staff within the Trust to put forward their peers and colleagues for one of the 14 award categories.
David ‘Burnsy’ Burns (formerly BBC Radio Humberside) hosted the glittering, black-tie event for nearly 300 attendees, including staff and sponsors. The hugely successful evening was enjoyed by all and a great example of how the Trust celebrates the hard work and initiative shown by all its employees.
The Staff Awards nominations are judged by a panel including members of staff and all must fulfil the criteria of upholding the Trust’s values, show a commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, as well as showing a contribution to the delivery of outstanding care.
The first award presented was the Being Humber Award which was won by jointly by Joanne Howard and Rachel Johnson as part of the domestic team who ensure the highest standards of cleanliness and homeliness in Maister Lodge.

The next Humbelievable (Non-Clinical) award was given to Daniel Tonks who delivers an excellent level of care through his work as a care worker at Granville Court, Hornsea.

The Outstanding Care award highlights exemplary care and best practice, it was awarded to the Health and Wellbeing Advisor Connector Service for their work benefitting people during a time of economic uncertainty and through the cost-of-living crisis.

Kathy was recognised for her tireless work supporting one of her patients. And Derwent Ward were recognised for their work supporting one of their patients.
