DARLING Downs Health recognised outstanding team members at its annual staff, volunteer and research awards.
Darling Downs Health Chief Executive Dr Peter Gillies said the awards were a chance to thank, recognise and celebrate staff and volunteers who do meaningful work every day to improve patient journeys and outcomes.
“The awards are our chance to celebrate the best-of-the-best and acknowledge our most innovative and inspiring team members,” Dr Gillies said.
“One of the strengths of these awards is that it is a peer-based recognition program.
“All staff are invited to reflect on who around them does a great job and lives our values of compassion, integrity, dignity, innovation and courage, as well as our vision of ‘Healthier Together.’
“This year we received more than 180 nominations of exceptional staff, volunteers, and researchers from all streams of our workforce – clinical, administration and operational.”
There were 29 finalists, with many travelling to the awards ceremony from Darling Down Health’s regional and rural facilities. There were 16 finalists from Darling Downs Health Toowoomba facilities alone.
Dr Gillies said the awards ceremony highlighted the high calibre of Darling Downs Health staff and volunteers both in Toowoomba and across the health service region.
“We greatly appreciate the commitment to excellence shown by every member of the Darling Downs Health team every day as they work together to care for our communities,” he said.
