KMPT Awards 2020!

We have officially launched the KMPT Awards 2020! This year, the awards will be held virtually on Thursday 3 December, and they promise to be bigger and better than ever! It’s been a difficult year for everyone and we know that so many brilliant people have been working tirelessly throughout COVID-19 and beyond. A great deal of work has contributed to inspiring change across the Trust and we are looking forward to seeing all this work improve the experiences of our patients and their loved ones.

These awards celebrate the work of staff, patients, carers, volunteers and our partners. Working together, we will continue to make a change.

This year we have 19 award categories, including some new awards - Administrator of the Year, Digital Inspiration, Year of the Nurse and Lifelong Achievement. 

To mark the Year of the Nurse, we are going to have a special category to recognise and celebrate a member of the nursing team who is truly remarkable and embodies our KMPT values. We have also added the Administrator of the Year, an award dedicated to identifying an administrator who consistently goes above and beyond in their role. Plus the Digital Inspiration Award is destined for a person or team who has developed and embedded the use of new or existing technologies into their service to improve services and efficiency.

Our final new category is for Lifelong Achievement, an award which provides us with the opportunity to highlight the life’s work of one of our current or past employees. Someone who has shown true dedication to the NHS and their field of expertise.

Nominations are open so please visit our website for the full criteria and nomination form. If you need any help completing your nomination, please contact: kmpt.communications@nhs.net
