Hide AdClaire Grant, general and specialist surgery matron, scooped the BRILLIANT Staff Individual award while staff on the Surgical Decision Area took home the BRILLIANT Staff Team award.
The Chairman’s Award went to Janet Curry, a volunteer in the Outpatients Cafe, who not only gives her time to volunteer at the hospital, but also spends a lot of time fundraising for Barnsley Hospital Charity and the Tiny Hearts Appeal.
Chairman Stephen Wragg said: “It was a great honour to present Janet with my award this year. Janet has shown an enormous amount of commitment to the Trust and her role in voluntary services. She is an asset to the hospital and we can’t thank her enough.”
