“It has been another very busy and challenging year for our health and social care staff and these awards give us a chance to acknowledge the dedication and commitment of our staff and partners to celebrate all that we have achieved together," said Fiona Davies, Argyll and Bute HSCP chief officer.
“I want to congratulate each and every person that was nominated, who was shortlisted, and who have won awards, and also send a heartfelt thank you to all of Argyll and Bute health and social care staff and partners who continue to deliver excellent services across Argyll and Bute every day.
“Our Excellence Awards panel had some very difficult decisions to make but they clearly recognised some commendable winners who have done so much for patients, their families, carers, communities and for their own colleagues.”
The Excellence Awards trophies, flowers and gifts were sponsored by Shearwater Marine Services Ltd and Professional Diving Academy, both based in Dunoon.
“We would like to thank both businesses for their kindness, generosity and support,” said an HSCP spokesperson.
