Heart care team thanked for helping busy A&E

UHNM's cardiac assessment nursing team have been working extra hard to help patients get seen as quickly and effectively as possible.  Their hard work and dedication has supported staff in A&E and helped to enhance the patient experience.

Dr Ann Marie Morris, Consultant in Emergency Medicine, said: "The cardiac assessment nurses have been amazingly supportive to our team in A&E. This is a real example of going above and beyond and working together and we are really thankful for their willing team spirit."

The team have been given the Chief Executive's award in recognition of their dedication.

Tracy Bullock, Chief Executive, said: "This team have really pulled out all the stops to help patients. Their work ethic within a challenging environment is well deserving of praise and they exemplify what can be achieved by effective communication and partnership between different teams across the hospital."

Dot Morgan-Smith, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, said: "It's such a big honour for the team to be recognised with this award, it really means a lot. It's very humbling and we're really touched. It was lovely for the A&E team to nominate us, we really feel that they have helped and supported us a lot too. Basically, we all work together as one big team.  It's not a matter of 'them' and 'us'- we're just one UHNM family."
