ROSE Award
Recognising Our Staff Excellence (ROSE) awards aim to celebrate the excellence in care and recognise the outstanding contribution made by our clinical healthcare support workers, allied health professions (AHPs), pharmacists, scientists and other non-nursing or medical clinical registrants.
Have you received fantastic care or support from one of our many specialist staff in the hospital? Perhaps the Occupational Therapist (OT) in fracture clinic made a difference to your care, a radiographer who put you at ease during a scan or Xray or do you work with one of our colleagues who always makes a difference to patients and has exemplary care values. Perhaps one of our behind-the-scenes teams, our Operating department practitioners (ODP’s) who support you in theatres, a pharmacist who ensures our patients receive the right medications or even our highly specialist pathology scientists who make use their skills in specialist testing to inform a clinical decision. Our healthcare support workers who complement our teams. The assistant practice physio who welcomed you to joint school or the healthcare assistant on the ward who spent time listening to a patient worries or concerns or perhaps the phlebotomist who took your blood today and made you feel relaxed and safe.
Make a difference to one of our specialist staff or to a colleague by showcasing their outstanding contribution to care, by nominating them for a ROSE Award.
To say thank you to a nurse or midwife please nominate them for a Daisy Award.
These awards provide recognition for colleagues that have gone above and beyond, rewarding excellent care, and demonstrating positive patient experience.
All nominations will be reviewed by the ROSE judging panel on a quarterly basis, and we will look at awarding those who:
• Model empathy and demonstrate a caring attitude in all situations
• Demonstrate extraordinary clinical skills in the delivery of compassionate patient care
• Have a positive attitude and demonstrates professionalism in the work environment
• Exemplifies the mission, vision, and values of KGH
• Establishes a special connection with the patients and families
Four winners will be announced each quarter, two registrants and two non-registered.
Catherine McCaig, a healthcare assistant in A&E, was nominated by Gemma Stirling from Desborough when her daughter, Olivia, 16, was so unwell she needed to be collected from the car park.
“Louise always goes above and beyond for her colleagues, the ward and, most importantly, the patients and visitors on the ward. She puts everyone else’s happiness before her own and will do anything for anyone. She has recently been spending a lot of her own time planning and creating ways to decorate the ward and make the rooms and areas look welcoming and vibrant for our patients. Despite some challenges along the way we now have a welcoming waiting area that welcomes everyone from all nationalities and allows Skylark’s members of staff to be involved and show what trips we have been on with a mascot monkey. We are very lucky to have her as part of the team her smile brightens anyone’s day.”
