Colleagues in our Emergency Department teams celebrated all their good work and their colleagues’ commitment at their annual Ball.

Team awards – at the event held at  Berties in Elland  -  were part of the night and Gemma Crowther won Employee of the Year and Tom Carpenter was Best Newcomer.

ED’s clinical lead Mark Davies scooped “ Shirt of the Night”  award and gave a speech reminding colleagues they should remember to celebrate all the great work they do.

He said it was important to recognise all they do as teams 24/7, 365 days a year for our patients and their families at the same time as trying to improve the care they provide..

As part of this they are championing the Greatix scheme in ED, where staff can email to Greatix.ED@cht.nhs.uk when they see outstanding practise or someone going the extra mile.

These compliments will be shared with staff and will allow us to learn from all the great practise we do.
