• A recognition strategy with rewards and benefits package which goes far beyond legal requirements
• A loyal and dedicated workforce
• Large numbers of highly skilled innovative people in clinical and non clinical areas
• A real commitment from the top to make the organisation the best it can be.

Sarah Boulton, Chair of NHS East of England comments: “Providing high quality care for patients requires a high quality workforce and Papworth Hospital is a shining example of an employer investing in its staff.”
Elizabeth Horne, Director of Human Resources, Papworth Hospital says: “Papworth’s success as a leading heart and lung hospital is down to our excellent staff who go the extra mile every day to care for our patients. We are very proud to be the first NHS hospital in the country to receive this award and the early results of our programme demonstrate that our sickness absence has reduced significantly.
