The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust (PAHT) has announced the winner of its DAISY Awards® programme for July 2024.
The programme enables patients, families and colleagues to honour a nurse or midwife who has made a difference to their care. The aim is to shine the spotlight on nurses and midwives who go the extra mile to ensure patients at PAHT receive high quality care and experiences.
The winner for July 2024 is Angela Gatland, from Bishop’s Stortford, a midwife on the maternity unit. Angela received two nominations in recognition of the care and compassion shown to women and birthing people, and for going above and beyond to help support the wider family too. One nomination concluded: “We cannot thank Angela enough for everything she did to help us as a family, but most importantly my daughter.” The other ended: “Angela will be someone who I will always remember and hold close to my heart.”
Giuseppe Labriola, interim chief nurse, surprised Angela when she was at work today (Wednesday 11 September) and presented her with her DAISY Award® certificate, a beautiful hand carved Healer’s Touch Sculpture from Zimbabwe, a pin badge, copy of the full nomination, a gift bag and cinnamon rolls.
Giuseppe said: “I would like to say a very big thank you and congratulations to Angela. The nominations she has received are just a glimpse of the care and dedication she shows to women and birthing people and their wider family, putting them at the heart of all she does.”
DAISY Award® winners are also entitled to numerous professional development, education and wellness benefits.
