Director of Nursing and Patient Experience at Whittington Health, Philippa Davis, was there on the day to present the lucky winners with their awards, and to pay tribute to the work of our nursing and midwifery teams. She said: “As we all know, the nursing profession delivers outstanding care to patients, their families and the community all year long. These awards are my way of personally paying tribute to those nurses and midwives who are at the forefront of not only delivering the best care, but also helping to transform services to improve the lives of our patients.

 

“It was a real honour to have been part of the judging panel for these awards, and hearing about not only the big changes our teams are making, but also about the small acts of kindness that make a huge difference to our patients. I am incredibly proud to be leading such a talented and dedicated team of nurses and midwives.”
