PORTERING staff at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust have been recognised as among the best in the country.
The team has been shortlisted for two awards in this year’s MyPorter Awards
These include the Portering Team of the Year, and Newcomer of the Year.
Kenneth McIntyre was nominated by his colleagues for being a newcomer who makes the whole team stronger, pushes others to even better work, and has great ways of communicating with colleagues and patients that bring a smile to everyone’s face.
Jose Antunes, portering services coordinator at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, said that all of the portering teams play a vital role in keeping the Trust running smoothly.
Steve Sellwood, facilities manager responsible for Portering Services, said that he is delighted that the department has been shortlisted.
“The Portering teams work hard and often seemingly unnoticed and we are extremely proud of all that they do 24/7, 365 days a year,” he said.
The award ceremony will be held at The Dickens Inn, in London, on Thursday, February 24.
