The WOW! Awards

This time last week I was sat in The Brewery, London, attending the WOW! Awards. I've known the founder, Derek Williams, for a great many years. Each year, the awards demonstrate some fabulous accomplishments by marvellous, caring professional people working within the NHS, pleasingly knocking into a cocked hat the flood of criticism levelled by our media.

This year saw success for the following: Ashford and St. Peter's Hospitals NHS FT Medway NHS Dorset County Hospital NHS FT South Devon Healthcare NHS FT & Southern Devon Health & Care NHS Trust Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust Wordsworth Ward, Ashford and St Peter;'s Cheetham Hill Ward, South Devon Healthcare NHS FT Moorland Team, Torbay and Southern Devon Health and Care NHS Trust While most awards were to teams, some individuals were also recognised. Kirstie Addison at Ashford Reverend Julia French at Plymouth David Hutchinson at Medway Jules Potter and Judith Thompson at Ashford Mags Shugar at Plymouth Kandy Maddock and Paula Lowry at Hampshire Hospitals NHS FT I have judged the awards most years (not this year, I had to attend a hospital appointment with my 92 year old Mum - if only that institution practised its values that expensive adorn every vertical surface in its buildings!).

If you want to bring in genuine, heartfelt praise and recognition from your patients and their families direct to your staff, I know no better way than the WOW! Awards.

Reach out to my friend Derek on [email protected] to learn more! Check the website, www.thewowawards.co.uk these winners articulate far more lucidly than I can about what the awards mean to them and their patients.
