Good luck to all of our Star Award nominees tonight

October 11, 2019

Tonight’s Star Awards are set to be the highlight of the year as we recognise the exceptional care, compassion, hard work and innovation shown by our colleagues, volunteers and members of the local community. The awards ceremony is set to take place later this evening at Aston Villa Football Club and celebrates the remarkable achievements of many of our colleagues across 20 awards categories including our new Green Award.

We have had a wonderful turnout of nominees with colleagues and patients both keen to share their amazing experiences of care, kindness innovations and quality they had experienced from our colleagues throughout the Trust.
