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.

ROSE Award thanks staff member for her kindness

A Healthcare Assistant at Kettering General Hospital has received one of the hospital’s first ROSE Awards recognising her outstanding kindness and support.

 Healthcare assistant Sharon Armour, from Barnwell C Ward was given a surprise presentation of her award by Deputy Chief Nurse Pam Smith and her ward colleagues on April 16.

 ROSE stands for Recognising Our Staff Excellence (ROSE) and celebrates care delivered by staff where they show empathy, compassion and dedication, that goes beyond the normal call of duty.

 Staff who can be nominated include clinical healthcare support workers, allied health professions (AHPs), such as therapists, operating department practitioners, and radiographers, and also pharmacists, scientists, and other non-nursing or non-medical clinical registrants such as audiologists.

 Sharon was nominated by her colleague, Staff Nurse Natalie Beer, for the award. Her nomination reads:

 “Sharon always strives to give the patients the best care possible, whether that be in through hygiene assessments, including pressure area care, or making a cup of tea or two.  Nothing is too much trouble for the patients and their recovery. On 'Valentine's Day' she not only decorated our ward with a festoon of hearts but she bought every patient and member of staff a 'red rose' and some chocolate.”

 KGH’s first ROSE Awards were held on March 21 but Sharon was unavailable for the presentation so it was rearranged for April 16.

 Deputy Chief Nurse Pam Smith said: “Sharon has consistently demonstrated outstanding care and thoughtfulness with her patients and always goes the extra mile to make them feel special.

 “It is appropriate then that she is one of our first ROSE Award winners as we say thank you to her for the care she delivers for her ward and our hospital.”
