The hard work and commitment of each one of our staff, and the pride they all take in caring for our patients, is what makes Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust one of the best Trusts.  We encourage all our staff to exceed expectations so that our patients and visitors receive the best possible service and care. If you have been particularly impressed by a member of staff or team, then why not nominate them for a STAR award.

  3.  It must be about a genuine experience, something that has happened to you or you have witnessed.

After a break, the Trust is pleased to announce the launch of the Staff Thank you and Recognition (STAR) awards which will see winners receive either a bronze, silver or gold pin badge to wear, together with a certificate and a copy of the nomination for them to keep.
 
Those who receive gold recognition will also be invited to the annual Trust Staff Awards and will have their photo included in the DGT news and on the Trust social media channels.

Nominations will be collated at the end of each month and sent to a panel to be reviewed. Nominators will be notified of the outcomes once the panel has met.
