LOCAL HEALTH STAFF RECEIVE AWARDS TO CELEBRATE THEIR COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC SERVICE
The commitment of Argyll & Bute Community Health Partnership staff to the NHS was recently recognised by a new staff award scheme introduced by NHS Highland.
Under the Valuing Service policy people who have worked for the National Health Service for a total of 20, 30 or 40 years would receive a certificate and retail vouchers to mark their length of service.
A number of staff from across Argyll and Bute who were eligible for the scheme recently attended an awards ceremony in the Mid Argyll Hospital in Lochgilphead.
Anne Clark, Non Executive Director of NHS Highland, who presented staff with their awards, said:
“I was delighted to come along today to present staff with their Valuing Service awards and I would like to congratulate everyone for their hard work and dedication to the NHS over many years.
“This new scheme was introduced by NHS Highland as a way of recognising the long term commitment of staff to the NHS and I am really pleased that so many people took the opportunity to come along today.
Derek Leslie, General Manager of Argyll & Bute CHP, continued:
“The recognition that staff received today is well deserved and I would like to thank them all for their long service to the NHS.
“We are also planning to hold these award ceremonies in future years so that we can continue to acknowledge the work that our staff do in delivering local health services across Argyll and Bute.”
