We are wanting to find those healthcare workers who have gone the extra mile in the 2022 Who’s Your Hero Awards.

Nominations are now open for members of the public and staff to propose worthy individuals who work at Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS FT and who deliver outstanding care and support to patients and colleagues.

The awards are decided by a panel of judges who meet quarterly to agree worthy recipients. The latest recipients are the the Trust’s Facilities team (pictured here) who have been nominated by their colleague Michelle Waddicor who, she says, during the pandemic have gone “above and beyond” to ensure the Emergency Department, during these extra busy times, is cleaned, cleared and tidied.

The whole team are commended for their hard work and for making sure of the smooth running of this extremely busy department. Michelle adds that because they work in the background they often go unnoticed but their contribution is invaluable. Trust Chief Executive Karen James says under manager Roger Mugherwa the Facilities Team demonstrate the values and behaviours of safety, care and respect. She adds; “ Michelle is right. These are our unsung heroes who help we can never underestimate. It was a pleasure for me to meet with them to present them with their well-deserved certificates of appreciation."
