Estates and Facilities triumphs again at national HEFMA Awards
Our Estates and Facilities Team has once again beaten national competition across the NHS to win both the coveted Team of the Year Award and also bag a runner-up spot in the Efficiency and Innovation Award category in the HEFMA (Health Estates and Facilities Management Association) NHS Awards.
This is the 14th national and regional award won by the Trust's in-house Estates and Facilities Team in just seven years and our fourth HEFMA award in that period. The Team of the Year' Award was in recognition of our Estates and Facilities senior leadership team, for the success of the restructured team working both as individual subject matter experts, and as a cohesive unit delivering high performing operational services and championing sustainability.
The award was presented to members of the team at an awards night on Thursday 9 May.
Steve Wedgwood, Trust director of operational estates and facilities, said: “Gaining a HEFMA Award is a great accolade as it is given by those that work in NHS Estates & Facilities services. It builds on last year's achievement of the national HEFMA Efficiency and Innovation Award, for the work undertaken by the Estates Team specifically.
Although an award recognising the work of the senior leadership team, it is an award for all estates and facilities staff across both sites and the contribution they make to the Trust and patient care.
- They've been recognised nationally - now help us celebrate our Estates and Facilities colleagues with our own recognition ceremony, as part of National Estates and Facilities Day. You have until Thursday 23 May to get your nominations in. Click here to find out more.
