On the evening of Friday 4 October 2024, the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust held their Extraordinary People Awards ceremony to celebrate the incredible staff and volunteers who work across the Trust.
The awards recognise the outstanding contribution that staff and volunteers make to care for patients and support colleagues. Over 500 nominations were received from staff, patients and carers, and judging panels then created a shortlist of 48 finalists.
The Royal Devon’s finalists came together for an awards ceremony at Sandy Park, Exeter where the winners were announced and presented with their awards.
Sam Higginson, Chief Executive Officer, said: “Our Extraordinary People Awards are such an important way to recognise the hard work and commitment of our staff and volunteers, and allows us to hear about the amazing work happening across the Trust.
I would like to congratulate and thank all of our colleagues who received recognition for the difference they make to our patients, colleagues and local communities.”
Sam added: “We are all incredibly grateful to our sponsors for supporting us and making this award ceremony possible.”
