Nominations are now open for the special recognition section of this year’s Stars of EEAST Awards, taking place in July.
It’s always hard to pick just a few outstanding people from the thousands working here at EEAST, but it’s that time of year where it has to be done and we need your help.
Do you know a colleague who deserves celebrating, or a team that has really made a difference? Whoever they are, if you feel they’re having a really positive impact on our patients and staff then we want to hear about them.
