Now in its fifth year, the Celebrating Excellence Awards give NHS Borders the opportunity to publicly celebrate the achievements of our staff. The awards night saw 400 people gather to recognise the hard work and excellence of the people who care for the Borders. It is the biggest event in our calendar and is an annual occasion at which we thank all staff and volunteers, and publicly recognise their hard work, innovation and successes. We are grateful to this year's sponsors for supporting the following award categories.
