HEFT staff cleaned up at the Annual Health and Social Care Awards this summer, hosted each year by Birmingham City University’s Faculty of Health to celebrate educational achievements from nominated students, teaching staff and clinical placement areas.
As well as the practice placement team proudly collecting a student nominated practice award on behalf of Ward 11 at Heartlands Hospital, two diploma nursing students, Holly Flannagan and Rose Beirne were awarded certificates of commendation following a patient nomination for excellent care at Solihull Hospital.
An award was also given to Bala Katyal, who received a Student Nominated Practice Award for Allied Health Professionals. Having recently graduated from a BSC (Hons) degree in diagnostic radiography, Heartlands radiographer, Thomas McHugh gained the highest mark on his course and won a student of excellence award.
Rachael Priddle, Practice Placement Manager, said:
“We were very honoured to share such stories of excellence for both students and mentors alike and be part of the celebrations for those hard working clinical areas that provide excellent placement experiences for our future nurses and clinicians at HEFT.”
