Stockport NHS Foundation Trust celebrated its latest Long Service Awards, honoring years of care and dedication. The ceremony took place at Stockport County FC's Edgeley Park, rewarding staff from hospital and community services who have served 20, 30, or 40 years with the NHS. With 71 attendees, the room represented over 1,750 years of combined service.
Each recipient received a certificate and gift vouchers from Chief Executive Karen James OBE, Chair David Wakefield, and Deputy Chief Executive John Graham, who thanked them for their hard work and commitment.
Karen James said: "Today has been about acknowledging your loyalty, commitment, and dedication to our wonderful NHS over all these years. I have really enjoyed listening to the citations that your managers submitted to capture your stories and journeys in our health service, and truly appreciate all your hard work and dedication."
Another ceremony for other colleagues will be held later this year. Stepping Hill Hospital is located in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
