    This award recognises a team who actively set out to engage with peers and partners to achieve defined shared goals. It celebrates those who come together with others either within DHU, across integrated care systems or further afield. It’s about forging a spirit of co-operation that successfully delivers the best possible healthcare or treatment for patients, developing new services or ways of working, improved health, and wellbeing or preventing further ill health.

  • The INSPIRE Leadership Award
    This award, to be presented by the Chief Executive, shines the spotlight on DHU people who embody exceptional leadership qualities and make a significant impact on the organisation.  They may be the person you work alongside, or your line manager or a leader – what’s important is how they use their words, actions and deeds in support of others.

    The INSPIRE leadership award – linked to the aims of our INSPIRE leadership development and coaching culture programme* – recognises and celebrates an individual nominated by their colleagues, team or peers for the way in which they have role modelled, championed and encouraged others to make a difference to DHU.
