Who’s your healthcare hero?
Do you know a team or an individual who have gone above and beyond in the past year and deserve special recognition for their outstanding work?
We want to recognise the commitment and compassion of our colleagues in this year’s Recognition Awards 2022.
Our fantastic values we’re kind, we’re fair, we listen, we care are the focus of our awards again this year, as well as one of our strategy's big priorities - Making Oxleas a great place to work.
We are looking for a 'Team of the Year' from each of our seven directorates. Who do you know who is putting our values into action and living them daily through their outstanding work? Who is actively demonstrating improvements in quality and patient experience through new ways of working, such as a Quality Improvement project which has had a positive impact on patient care?
Our ‘Governors’ Award’ is for an individual who has gone ‘above and beyond’ to put the trust values of ‘we’re kind’ and ‘we care’ into action. Who do you know who is not afraid to inspire, innovate and ‘go the extra mile’ to make life better for those who need our help?
Our ‘Shadow Executive Award’ is for an individual who has gone ‘above and beyond’ to help Make Oxleas a Great Place to Work. Who goes out of their way to take the best possible care of their colleagues? This could be through giving colleagues the opportunity to develop and thrive, enabling them to feel supported to give their best every day, and through treating them kindly, fairly and with care.

Filming and photography requests
We receive documentary, location and broadcast filming requests on a regular basis – we consider all proposals on an individual basis and will try to accommodate proposals where possible, if appropriate.
No photography or filming is permitted without prior arrangement and agreement. Our patients always come first and we have a duty to protect their safety and confidentiality. Anyone found filming or taking photographs on the trust premises without the permission of the trust’s communications team will be asked to leave by the security department and may face prosecution.
Unless agreed otherwise, film crews and photographers must be accompanied by a member of the Communications Team at all times.
