2024 Staff Awards: Celebrating the outstanding work of our staff
The second annual Homerton Outstanding Service Contribution and Recognition (HOSCARS) took place on Thursday 10 October, attended by our shortlisted nominees and special guests. Congratulations to the winners and everyone nominated!
It was an incredible night of celebration, with nearly 250 people from teams across the Trust coming together to support each other and shine a spotlight on the incredible projects and people in Homerton Healthcare and their work over the last 12 months.
Our very own Dr Ronx was the host again this year and 17 awards were handed out by our Executive Team.
