Since we launched the awards we’ve received lots of nominations, but we know that there is much more out there worth celebrating across our hospitals. This is where we need your help.

It isn’t just UHMBT staff that can nominate - we want to hear from patients, visitors, and members of the public as well. There are eight categories in total, two of which are highlighted below: Student / Trainee of the Year: Celebrating the great work and commitment undertaking by a student or trainee in our hospitals, this award is looking for a clear demonstration of the person leading by example and putting their learning into practical use for the benefit of others. Open for all students/trainees studying a recognised qualification. You might notice a few changes in this year’s Health Heroes - namely the award categories and the way we judge the categories. We originally launched Health Heroes in 2012 so we felt it was time to refresh the categories to better reflect our priorities and the values- based culture we are developing at the Trust. This year, three finalists will be selected for each category. The nominator will then be invited to present in front of a panel of judges, where the winner will then be decided.

Have you nominated your Health Heroes?
Don’t forget to nominate a colleague or a team for one of our Health
Heroes awards. Since we launched the awards we’ve received lots of
nominations, but we know that there is much more out there worth
celebrating across our hospitals. This is where we need your help.
Do you know an individual or team that is extra special, and who really
go out of their way to make life a little bit better for patients and
colleagues? If so, we want to hear about them! It isn’t just UHMBT staff
that can nominate - we want to hear from patients, visitors, and
members of the public as well. There are eight categories in total, two of
which are highlighted below:
Student / Trainee of the Year: Celebrating the great work and
commitment undertaking by a student or trainee in our hospitals, this
award is looking for a clear demonstration of the person leading by
example and putting their learning into practical use for the benefit of
others. Open for all students/trainees studying a recognised qualification.
You might notice a few changes in this year’s Health Heroes - namely the
award categories and the way we judge the categories. We originally
launched Health Heroes in 2012 so we felt it was time to refresh the
categories to better reflect our priorities and the values- based culture we are developing at the Trust.
This year, three finalists will be selected for each category. The nominator will then be invited to present in
front of a panel of judges, where the winner will then be decided.
The full nomination pack, including further information on the
categories, can be found on the staff awards internet page by clicking
here. Hard copies can be obtained from the Communications team

Innovation Awards, to celebrate pioneering and transformational

Discounts survey...we need your opinions One of our latest LiA schemes has been looking into a discount scheme they can offer UHMBT staff. To help them
find out what you would like discounts for, they have created a very short survey. To complete the survey visit

Radiology Cross Bay Study Day was a success The Radiology Cross Bay Study Day was a huge success. The event was organised by
John Finnigan, the Society of Radiographers Union Learning Rep, in order to promote CPD
opportunities and support staff learning. It was attended by a mix of radiographers from all
sites across the Trust and was a good networking opportunity especially in the trip to the
pub afterwards!
There were a wide variety of presentations covering a broad range of topics: a team from
Siemens (the event sponsors) about current and future technologies; speakers from the University about
challenges in education and the world of forensic radiography; specialists in Dentistry from our own Trust with
Dr Hadden and Dr Fisher, Consultant Radiologist Dr Taylor, Reporting Radiographer Craig Anderson and our
PACS manager Emma Jackson. John would like to give a big ‘thank you’ to all attendees, the speakers who
volunteered their time and effort, and to Siemens for funding the food and refreshments.
