The awards invite staff and patients to tell us about members of staff and teams who have gone above and beyond their role to make a difference.
More than 1,500 nominations were received for the 2019 Staff Recognition Awards – congratulations to all staff, volunteers and fundraisers who were nominated, and thank you to everyone who took the time and trouble to nominate staff colleagues.
Every single nominee is to be congratulated for being recognised for everything that they do every day to provide excellent and compassionate care.
A big thank you to Oxford Hospitals Charity for generously supporting the Staff Recognition Awards - both the Trust-wide awards ceremony on 4 December 2019 and the Divisional events. Their support makes these important celebrations of staff achievements possible.
Hundreds of staff who have been nominated were recognised at Divisional awards ceremonies.
Winners were announced at an awards ceremony at Oxford Town Hall on Wednesday 4 December 2019.
