Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust staff have been honoured at the People Awards for their dedication and achievements. The awards celebrate outstanding work at the trust's hospitals in Andover, Basingstoke and Winchester, funded by Hampshire Hospitals Charity.

More than 900 patients, members of the public and staff nominated colleagues this year, a record response. The nominations covered 13 categories, including patient care, leadership, innovation, inclusivity and teamwork. Finalists gathered at Winchester Cathedral, where winners from clinical and non-clinical roles were honoured.

Consultant emergency physician Howard Simpson received one of the evening's top honours, the Lifetime Contribution Award, which recognised his more than 30 years of work and lasting impact on emergency care at Hampshire Hospitals. Trust chief executive Sue Harriman said: 'It was such a privilege to spend time celebrating so many of our brilliant colleagues and teams who work incredibly hard to support our patients, their loved ones and each other. Our people are the heartbeat of Hampshire Hospitals and having the opportunity to recognise their achievements was really special.'
