Medway NHS Trust Joins The WOW! Awards
 

Medway NHS Trust Joins The WOW! Awards.  "We want everyone to receive outstanding care and to help support this we are asking patients and visitors to tell us when they have had an excellent experience at Medway Maritime Hospital. To enable this, on 1 March, we are launching a new staff awards initiative called 'The WOW! Awards'. We believe it's important to identify and reward those individual members of staff or teams who deliver excellent patient experience because this can help to raise our standards further across the entire organisation".

Newsletter - February 2011

2.    If you would like to connect with me at LinkedIn, I’d be delighted to hear from you at http://www.linkedin.com/groups/WOW-Awards-2137296?mostPopular=&gid=2137296

3.    And you can follow me on Twitter http://twitter.com/#!/thewowawards .  I promise not to bombard you with Twivia!  Just regular little snippets that I know you would find interesting.

Back to the news...

Hard to believe that the first two months of the year are almost over.  Are you make as much progress as you had hoped for this year?  Sometimes I feel as if time is like sand slipping through my fingers.  So, as Nike would say, “Just do it!”

1.
How hard can it be to get change from your bank? Another example of businesses making it hard for customers.  But don’t beat up the bankers!  I think that we can all learn from this example.  And I’ve suggested an alternative scenario.  You say which works best.

2. Words of passion
.  A fantastic example of someone with passion really connecting with his customers.

3. It’s a Jungle out there!
