St Hugh’s Celebrates Dedicated Staff
A dozen long-serving colleagues from HMT St Hugh’s Hospital in Grimsby have been recognised for their commitment to the organisation.
On Wednesday 14th November, the 12 members of staff were presented with awards by Hospital Director Ashley Brown and Tony Barrett, Chief Executive of the Healthcare Management Trust, which owns and manages St Hugh’s Hospital.
Awards and shopping vouchers were given to those who have worked at St Hugh’s for five, 10, 15 and 20 years.
Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) Staff Nurse Barbara Williams and Ward Team Leader Pauline Parsons have each been part of the St Hugh’s family for two decades.
Barbara said: “I joined St Hugh’s initially as part of the staff bank after relocating to this area from Lancashire. I worked on the ward and in endoscopy, before settling in the outpatients’ department.
“I thoroughly enjoy my role, working with a small but dedicated team who are like my family. The years have flown by, and I look forward to achieving my next award in five years’ time.”
Cosmetic Sister Lynda Thorndike was recognised for her commitment over the last 15 years, while Medical Records Clerk Tracey Jarvis and Housekeeper Wendy Woods are celebrating 10 years at the not-for-profit hospital.
The remaining seven colleagues are marking their first five years at St Hugh’s. They are: Physiotherapist Oliver Lea; Housekeepers Debbie Abbott, Belinda Smith and Liz Dobson; Staff Nurse Sheila Hutton; ODP Mick Bonner and Head Porter Nick Walker.
Hospital Director Ashley Brown said: “It’s always a pleasure to celebrate the achievements of the individuals who make St Hugh’s such a great place to work and be treated at.
“We recently celebrated the hospital’s 80th year in operation and have lots of exciting new developments in the pipeline.
“As we embark on this next phase of growth it’s important to not only recruit new talent but also to recognise and retain the great staff we already have.
“I would like to congratulate and thank all 12 colleagues – here’s to the next milestone!”
