Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership held its Excellence Awards ceremony on Friday 12th May.
Awards were presented on International Nurses Day to recognise the exceptional health and social staff working for the HSCP who have performed over and above expectations.
This is the fourth year that the HSCP has held the Excellence Awards and once again a wide and high standard of nominations were received from fellow colleagues and members of the public.
Fiona Davies, Argyll and Bute HSCP, Chief Officer said: “It has been another very busy and challenging year for our health and social care staff and these awards give us a chance to acknowledge the dedication and commitment of our staff and partners to celebrate all that we have achieved together.
“I want to congratulate each and every person that was nominated, who was shortlisted, and who have won awards, and also send a heartfelt thank you to all of Argyll and Bute health and social care staff and partners who continue to deliver excellent services across Argyll and Bute every day.
