Two Weeks Left to Nominate a Hospital Star

April 24, 2014 by Andover Town

There are just two weeks left until the deadline for nominations for Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s Director of Nursing Awards.

The awards, affectionately known as the DONAs, recognise the outstanding dedication, care and compassion nursing, midwifery and therapy staff provide to patients. The winners will be announced at the ninth annual award ceremony on Monday 9 June.

Nursing, midwifery and therapy staff from all three Hampshire Hospitals sites – Andover War Memorial Hospital, Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, and Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester – can be nominated for a DONA, as well as those staff working from Alton and Bordon Community Hospitals. Nominations are welcome from members of the public or patients and are reviewed by a panel of public representatives.

Hampshire Hospitals Director of Nursing Donna Green said: “It is always heart-warming to read the nominations as they come in, and I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to send a nomination so far. We have had almost 200 nominations but there is always room for more right up until the deadline.”

“All of our staff aim to provide excellent, compassionate care to our patients and it really does mean a lot to them to have their work recognised.”

“This year’s nominations have included a lady who was so impressed by the care from her midwife that her baby has the midwife’s name as her middle name, and several nominations from families who have been touched by the care given at the end of a family member’s life.”

“I am so proud to read nominations that talk about positivity, encouragement, dignity and in some cases, how the care given by a member of staff has changed a patient’s life.”

There are two categories for nominations:

  • individual nurse / midwife / therapist
  • nursing /midwifery / therapy team.

In addition, there are a number of special awards:

  • the Wallace award for outstanding care for patients at the end of their life
  • the Rotary Clubs of Andover, Basingstoke and Winchester each choose an overall winner of their choice
  • the Chief Medical Officer’s award, sponsored by HHFT’s Chief Medical Officer Dr Andrew Bishop.

The deadline for nominations is Wednesday 30th April. There are several ways to nominate:

  • visit www.hampshirehospitals.nhs.uk/dona
  • email dona@hhft.nhs.uk
  • call into your local hospital and pick up a nomination form.
