Security Team celebrated at National Association for Healthcare Security (NAHS) awards
The SGC Security Services team at our hospital have been highly commended at the recent National Association for Healthcare Security (NAHS) awards.
Held at the University of Birmingham at the end of November; the awards provide an opportunity to honour those who consistently demonstrate pride in their daily work within healthcare security.
The Kettering General Hospital team were highly commended for their work in patient and staff safety. They are skilled in handling a wide range of incidents, ranging from mental health crises to physical altercations.
Darren Barber, Security Manager and Local Security Management specialist said;
"To be highly commended for this prestigious award is an honour. It demonstrates the appreciation of the hard work from our security contract partners SGC Security Services, and the partnership with Kettering General Hospital.
This is a collaboration between the Security Steering Group and the Safeguarding committee across the hospital, to provide a safe environment for our staff, patients and visitors."
Their professionalism and quick response in high-pressure situations has earned them national recognition.
Rob Drabble, Director of Estates and Facilities at KGH said;
“National recognition does not come easy. It’s built on good teamwork, collaboration with clinical colleagues, and excellent local management. This is a major achievement for KGH, and our wider UHN group.
Hospitals must be safe spaces for staff, visitors, and patients. This award helps to signify my team's hard work and constant pursuit toward excellence.”
Congratulations to the security team on being highly commended at these awards.
