Northamptonshire colleagues honoured at regional inclusivity awards

Colleagues and teams from Northamptonshire's three NHS trusts have been recognised at NHS England's Midlands Inclusivity and Diversity Awards 2022.
The Midlands Inclusivity and Diversity Award Scheme, or ‘MIDAS’, recognises new and excellent ways of working by staff, managers, and leaders across the region, to make the Midlands an inclusive place to work for all staff.
The scheme is specifically designed to recognise the good work that is happening in the Midlands across our health and social care sector.
More than 175 nominations were received across seven award categories – with colleagues from Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT), Northampton General Hospital (NGH) and Kettering General Hospital (KGH) celebrating success in four categories.
- In the Excellence in Executive Inclusive Leadership Award category, NHFT's Chief Executive Angela Hillery was named winner
- Jane Sanjeevi, Senior International Nurse Pastoral Support Facilitator at NGH was joint winner of the Changemaker of the Year Award
- In the Unsung Star Award category, Carol Verner, Interim Head of Equality Diversity and Inclusion at KGH, was top shortlist nominee
- And NHFT's REACH Network were highly commended in the Outstanding Staff Network Award category
