Nearly 300 members of staff, volunteers and their guests celebrated their award winning colleagues on a night to remember at the iCARE Awards 2017, sponsored by Interserve Prime, Ambulatory Surgery International, Medical Staffing, Bevan Brittan and Dorset Digital Print.
The group of iCARE Awards 2017 winners!
The iCARE Awards are the hospital’s annual staff awards and recognise and reward excellence among Yeovil Hospital staff and volunteers who make such a positive impact on people’s lives.
Held on Thursday 16 November, eight award categories were presented ranging from the Long Service Awards for those who have worked at the hospital for 30 and 40 years, to the Rising Star of the Year Award.
More than 150 nominations were received from patients, members of the public and colleagues keen to highlight the amazing work the hospital’s staff do day in and day out.
In the iCARE Excellence Award category fellow colleagues voted for the winner and Ivan Rendell, Theatre Care Assistant was crowned the winner on the night!
Yeovil Hospital Chief Executive Paul Mears, who hosted the awards alongside Medical Director Dr Tim Scull, said: “The iCARE Awards night is a really important event in the hospital calendar; an opportunity to pause and reflect on the exceptional work taking place across the hospital every day and the difference our staff and volunteers make to the lives of our local population.
“Every award we present, every highly commended place, and in fact every nomination is testament to the fact that we do some really special, really worthwhile work in our hospital and across Somerset.
“We would also like to thank the companies who sponsored the iCARE awards allowing us to recognise and celebrate the work of our staff in this way.”
