Given the unprecedented uncertainty that we are living through the need for hope and inspiration is even greater than usual. The awards are a celebration of your commitment and hard work. I extend my congratulations to each of the winners and finalists. Thank you for continuing to be a beacon of hope and inspiration.”
Dr Andrew Goodall, NHS Wales Director General of Health and Social Services and Chief Executive, said: “It’s a privilege to be involved with the twelfth year of the NHS Wales Awards. The Awards are an opportunity to celebrate the talent, commitment and innovation of staff who strive to improve outcomes for people using services in Wales.
