STAFF at a struggling hospital trust have come together to celebrate their proudest achievements over the past year.

Around 100 nurses, midwives and other healthcare professionals from King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford attended the awards ceremony on June 29.

Awards including best student nurse and team of the year were handed out by Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals Trust (BHRUT)’s chief nurse, Kathryn Halford.

She said: “It was fantastic to bring so many of colleagues together for a day to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments over the past year.

“Our staff work so hard to provide the best care possible for our parents, so events like these to appreciate their own achievements are really important.”

BHRUT got ‘requires improvement’ for its last Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection in July 2015.
