Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital has honoured the “outstanding” staff across its five hospitals at a glittering awards ceremony.
Perinatal imaging midwives, laryngology consultants and a clinical fellow in cardiothoracic surgery were among the winners.
Celebrity doctor and staff member Dr Ranj Singh kicked off proceedings by introducing award presenters including local MP Florence Eshalomi.
Perinatal imaging midwives took home the team award for always putting their patients first and making sure they have the necessary support in place.
Dr Aamir Amin, clinical fellow in cardiothoracic surgery, won the individual award after receiving a whopping 77 nominations from patients including one who said “the NHS needs more doctors like him”.
Dr Ranj Singh said: “I consider myself extremely privileged and fortunate to have been trained by and worked amongst some of the best, most hard-working and dedicated people in the country.
“The Trust and its staff have a very special place in my heart, so it was fantastic to be able to celebrate and appreciate everyone.”
Paediatric intensive care and South Thames Retrieval Service were crowned winners of the ‘take pride in what we do’ award.
These teams have outstanding reputations for their wonderful care of babies, children, young people, the trust said.
Professor Ian Abbs, Chief Executive of Guy’s and St Thomas’, said: “Congratulations to everyone who was nominated and won an award. I would like to particularly highlight our brilliant admin teams who won the Chairman and Chief Executive award.
“These colleagues have been at the heart of everything we have done in recent years, including our response to the pandemic, industrial action, and the launch of our electronic health record.”
