Annual Christmas decoration competition – winners announced

December 23, 2022

Colleagues across SWB have been as busy as Christmas elves getting their wards and departments decorated for the annual Christmas decoration competition. Dr Mark Anderson, Chief Medical Officer, Richard Beeken, Chief Executive, Mel Roberts, Chief Nursing Officer and Andy Churm, Star Awards Employee of the Year visited all corners of the Trust to see the decorations in all their glory.

SWB’s answer to the three wise men (and women), they chatted with colleagues about the current situation, checking teams were doing well despite the pressures felt this week and thanking them for their efforts.

The standard was truly tree-mendous, and all teams sleighed the competition. Thanks go to everyone who branched out and spruced up their areas! This year, the winners are…

• 1st place: McCarthy Ward – Rowley
• 2nd place: Newton 3 – Sandwell
• 3rd place: Medical infusion suite City

Special recognition goes to the research and development team at City Hospital alongside the emergency department paediatrics team at Sandwell and City.

Congratulations to you all – we’re raising a mistle-toast to the winners and to all who participated!
