The Star Awards are the trust’s staff recognition award scheme which saw 10 winners from departments across all services in East Lancashire rewarded for their dedication and achievement.

Kevin Moynes, interim director of Human Resources and Organisational Development, said: “All the staff who were nominated and won an award play a part in looking after people at their most vulnerable time of their lives. I salute them for their care, commitment and compassion.

“They are a recognition of their work and dedication and they should be very proud of themselves.”
