7. A recent nomination….
• From the moment I arrived at A&E scared,
stressed and vulnerable these two absolute
angels went above and beyond to make me feel
as comfortable as is possible when you have a
health scare. They were very kind and gentle and
so very patient and understanding. They listened
to everything we said so we felt human for the
1st time in a long time. This paragraph barely
expresses what a difference they made to my life
and future. I would never have sought the
treatment I urgently needed without them. My
grateful, eternal thanks to their excellence ”
8. One of our Ward Managers
• “The WOW awards are different to any previous
awards available to Medway Staff. They are from
the patient and this makes it extra special. We
working in nursing as we love to care for those
less fortunate and when our excellent practice is
noticed and nominated for an award by the very
people we care for, it doesn’t get any better. We
have our awards in pride of place at the entrance
to our ward as we are proud of our team and
team members who have won individual awards
”
9. What winning means…..
• “ It has been a huge morale booster for the
Imaging Reception staff to be nominated for
this award. Sometimes it is difficult being on
the front line, but to receive this WOW means
that the staff feel they are appreciated by our
patients ....I am very pleased that they have
achieved this, it means a lot to all of the
team.....”
10. A winner’s reaction
• “ Then as I realised that this recognition was
missing from my nursing career. This
realisation touched me deeply and I promised
myself I would get a 'WOW' nomination for
my team. I thought we deserved it and in
many ways I considered it to be what was
what was missing from my time in the NHS ”
