Your Hospital - UHSM

STAFF AWARDS 2010
UHSM is proud of its
staff. It is thanks to
them that we continue
to provide outstanding
care to our patients.
Our high profile
Staff Awards are an
opportunity to
recognise and thank
our staff for their continued
dedication and hard work.
The awards ceremony will
be held on 23 April, at the
University of Manchester’s
elegant Whitworth Hall.
For one night of the year,
our staff will hang up their
uniforms and white coats
and we allowed a little
indulgence to reflect on the
achievements of our staff
over the preceding twelve
months.
We are exceedingly grateful
to all of our sponsors for
their support, without
which, we would be able to
recognise staff in this way.
