Celebrating our nurses and midwives
Last week, we shined a spotlight on our nurses and midwives in a special event held at St Bartholomew’s historic Great Hall.
Nurses and midwives were individually invited to the event and were recognised for their dedication and hard work over the past year.
Our chief executive, Alwen Williams, and our chair in common, Rt Hon Jacqui Smith, attended the event, as well as members of our non-executive board and senior leadership teams.
Our winners are:
- Elizabeth Ward - Quality of Care award
- Tahmina Sayani - Nurse of the year
- Michaela Calvert - Midwife of the year
- Critical Care - Nursing Informatics award
- Janine Roberts - Midwifery Informatics Award
- Vivienne Tan (Therapies team leader)- Friend to Nursing and Midwifery Award
- Chris Pinch also received a special leadership recognition award
Tahmina Sayani said:
“I feel honoured that my hard work in respiratory service is recognised. It is a big milestone for me and would like to thank my line manager for trusting me. I would like to encourage my nurses to never give up and stay strong.”
Vivienne Tan said:
“It was a real honour to have received an award at the nursing and midwifery awards evening. It was a lovely evening spent with nursing colleagues and an opportunity to get to know each other. A big thank you for all the support you have given me and the therapy team. I’m looking forward to the AHP awards evening in October.”
Our Director of Nursing & Governance Zebina Ratansi said:
“It was great honour to attend the awards celebration last week and hear about some of the fantastic work within nursing across all our hospitals.
“The recipients of these awards are truly deserving, and I am very proud to lead such brilliant nurses and midwives at Whipps Cross, ones who uphold the highest professionalism and dedication to their profession. Congratulations again to all the winners.”
Congratulations to all the winners, you’ve made us very proud and we are very lucky that you are part of the Whipps Cross family.
