Awards were presented to three staff who had been voted for by their peers. Robert Culshaw was named Learner of the Year; Margaret Halsall took the title of Unregistered Nurse of the Year while Geraldine Little picked up the prize for Registered Nurse of the Year.

An “overwhelmed” Margaret said: “I am quite humbled to accept the award on behalf of all the unregistered nurses who do a lovely job.”
