We nominate them for their outstanding work and commitment to ward, staff and patients. Also for making us feel welcome as new members of staff and each member gives their all and if not more to help us in out new careers.

This man has transformed my life through his treatment. He is the kindest most understanding consultant I have had the chance to be treated by.

From consultation with Mr Joshei through Pre-Assessment, through Surgery and after care in Pembroke Ward, Charge Nurse Florencio Maduli and staff including Physiotherapy most helpful in everyway to make my recovery easier.

I would like to nominate the nurses in who were on duty in Ocelot ward on Xmas Eve and Xmas morning. The care was above all expectations. Nothing was too much trouble and they made my stay as comfortable & pleasant as possible. The sister had even bought Xmas presents for the 3 of us who had stayed that night.

I have completed my chemotherapy today and the last 6 weeks have been very easy owing to the efforts of Rosie.

This lady was the midwife who delivered my baby during my c.section. I had such a painful experience while they tried to get the spinal in due to my BMI and I cried like a baby but had to sit still. This woman took tissue and cleaned my nostrils as i cried although my husband was in the ward. I was so so touched. It's not something u do for someone u have never met. May not sound so WOW but think about it......would u?

Ann is an inspiration to her patients as well as her staff, she greets herself to all the patients everyday( I have seen this) she doesn't mind 'getting her hands dirty. Will wash, feed and do anything her auxiliaries would do herself. You don't see this often with a ward sister

I would like to nominate Anette Janes. She looked after me and although she didn't get to deliver my daughter she stayed with us throughout a transfer to the Delivery suite and a rather urgent and scary forceps delivery. My husband and I could not fault her kind and gentle nature and nothing seemed too much trouble. She not only cared for me and my daughter but also made sure my husband was ok and this meant a lot to both of us. Because of Anette Janes I have lovely memories of my time at The Birth Place. Looking back I wish I had been able to thank her Properly at the time. Thank you Annette.

As Lyn has been through up and downs in her own personal life, she never shows this whilst at work. Lyn is proffessional, happy, patient, always smiling and is there for the staff, visitors and patients. Will always go the extra mile for anybody!! From, Cheryl,Jay,Mary and Jodi CSW's from Wakeley Ward... A huge thank you and we love you lots!!!!

I was on Pembroke Ward from 21 - 28 January for a broken hip and all the staff were really, really wonderful. They were all so kind and patient nothing was too much trouble for them even when they were extremely busy. They were very caring and sympathetic to my needs and always felt I was getting first class care. Thank you so much to you all for making my stay in hospital a pleasant one. You all deserve a huge WOW award.

Thank you to the entire team at the Breast Clinic for your relaxed atmosphere and professional approach. From the moment I booked in with Reception to the end of my appointment with Mr Kasem I felt supported and looked after. It made a worrying morning far more bearable. Thank you all.

The reason Im nominating Samantha is simply because she is outstanding. Her ability to put people at ease and make them feel comfortable is just amazing she is not just there doing a job she listens and cares and gives the best service I have ever experienced Samantha helped me a great deal today seeing me ASAP putting my mind and rest that my hearing was not lost for good just yet. I was given time to explain my worries and understanding and patience I was spoken to with respect. I felt like Samantha dropped everything to see me and fix my aid check my ears. All this from a total stranger. This lady needs more than an award give her a gold medal. Hearing might not be important to most but when you loose it its everything. And Samantha understands that. She needs a wow a big WOW

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Oct 2010 and have recently transferred my care from a nearby hospital to Medway. I cannot express how much better the care has been and how supportive Louise has been in guiding me through some challenging times. She has always been available for me to talk to and has never made me feel I am wasting her time, despite some very mundane questions! Her support, integrity, professionalism and caring nature is exactly what I have needed and I would be lost without her. Thank you Louise.

I wish to nominate Keira as my wife is in Wakefield ward and as a recent hospital inpatient myself (Christmas Day admission) I know how important it is that the nursing staff are friendly as well as carrying out their duties. I nominate Keira having seen her always cheerful disposition dealing with patients and finding time to be not only friendly /helpful but amusing as well. It is so important to boost patients morale at a time when they are feeling low and Keira does it with a smile even alaugh and a joke.

I recently had an operation which had been failed by other consultants before. Mr sadoon gave me hope, performed all tests quickly, professionally and put mine and my husbands minds at ease. We could not have been taken care of any better. I am grateful for his patient nature and ongoing persistence to rectify problems others could not. Thank you so much. We have hope now!

Cathie and Sarah overcome the patient concerns experienced immediately after leaving hospital and are easily available when required. Nothing is too much trouble and they are great ambassadors for the Trust.

I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE ALL THE STAFF AND PHYSIO’S ON PEMBROKE WARD. DURING MY STAY ON THE 27TH DEC FOR A TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT FOUND ALL THE STAFF VERY ACCOMODATING AND RESPECTFUL TO THE PATIENTS. THE CARE I RECEIVED WAS 100%. MANY THANKS .

I would like to nominate Mr Sadoon and the delivery suite team, in particular Louise and Ola(?) for their amazing professionalism and assistance during the birth of our daughter (Olivia Zhang) on the 23rd December 2012 at 09:52. They kept us informed of exactly what was going on the whole way through and dealt with what was for us a very stressful situation brilliantly. Thank you to everyone on the team for all your help Robert Grigsby & Ping Zhang

friday 25th jan 2013,11am--17oo. My stay was made so much more easier and less stressful due staff always having a cheerful and pleasant attitude when asked for advice and help,nothing was to much trouble for them.Well done,not a lot wrong with your dept and the MEDWAY NHS hospital in general.It was also noticed how clean the area looked very reassuring.Thankyou All. p.l price.

Firstly my appointment was changed to suit me. When I arrived I didn't know what to expect and everything was explained to me, I was constantly monitored throughout the day I was fed and watered. All the above were constantly cleaning equipment and their hands and they were friendly and made sure all in their care were treated as individuals. What an asset they are to your hospital with such happy dispositions they made a six hour stay enjoyable, thanks.

I was petrified of coming to the clinic as I have always had a fear of hospitals. Rebecca managed to calm me down completely whilst receiving treatment. She has an amazing bedside manner and has helped me overcome my fear and makes visiting the hospital a more enjoyable experience. She is to be commended on her excellent level of care.

My wife was absolutely petrified at going for the operation to remove her left breast and Sue was so caring and supportive trying to calm her down and get her through it. When my wife was on the ward she was requesting her tablets, Jo intervened and sorted it.

From the time of me being diagnosed with breast cancer right through to post operative care the support and care I have received has been incredible. These people could not have done more to see me through this devastating operation. Mr Kasem has got to be the most caring surgeon you have, he doesn't treat you as a job but as an individual who he takes under his wing, takes pride in his work and who will always be there to talk you through any concerns. I cannot thank the Breast care team enough, they are wonderful.

Very friendly, comical, works well as a team. Cheered me up thoroughly . Remember even after after a time their previous patients. Fantastic and do a brilliant job. Would be great to have more NHS staff who deliver such quality service to members of the public. David and Jackie are a great asset to the NHS! Deserve a Wow award!

Lovely during birth, very supportive and made it all a very pleasent experience.
