KGH colleagues receive NHSE Safeguarding award

Joanne and Lizzie NHS England Safeguarding Award winners.
Two of our amazing safeguarding team have been given an NHS England Safeguarding award for their work with women and families.
 
Joanne was commended for her work on two complex maternity cases, Lizzie was recognised for her leadership of the children’s safeguarding service during a particularly challenging time.
 
Cathy Sheehan (National Safeguarding Lead, NHS England) and Helen Adam (Head of Safeguarding, Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board) visited our hospital to present Joanne and Lizzie with their awards.
 
Jayne Skippen (Chief Nursing Officer, KGH) said “Well done to Joanne and Lizzie on their awards. We are proud of their dedication to ensuring the best possible patient care is at the heart of everything they do”
 
Joanne Fisher - Joanne was awarded the NHSE Safeguarding award for her sterling work with some very complex cases.
Jo demonstrated all the trust values especially those of empathy and courage and advocated for the unborn/newborn. Jo had multiple courageous conversations as part of this process.
 
Lizzie Hall - Lizzie was awarded the NHSE Safeguarding Award for her leadership of the children’s safeguarding service during a particularly challenging time.
Lizzie was able to role model, mentor and coach staff through this period whilst developing the service.
The empathy and compassion she displayed for patients and staff alike was noted by our external partners which resulted in the nomination and the award.
